Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
BitLocker® Windows Resume is an operating system loader which loads the Windows OS kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) and other boot stage binary image files, as well as previous operating system state information, when Windows has been previously put into a sleep or hibernate power state. This cryptographic module also maintains FIPS 140-2 validation compliance (according to FIPS 140-2 PUB Implementation Guidance G.5) on Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8 Pro, and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.
