Module description

The F-Secure Kernel Mode Cryptographic Driver is a FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated software module, implemented as a 32-bit Windows NT/2000/XP compatible export driver. When loaded into computing system memory, it resides at the kernel mode level of the Windows OS and provides an assortment of cryptographic services that are accessible by other kernel mode drivers through a C-language Application Program Interface. The cryptographic services are also available in the form of a static library and as source code.
