FIPS 140-2 certificate #2703 · Microsoft Corporation · data as of 2026-09-12

BitLocker® Dump Filter (dumpfve.sys) in Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 for Surface Hub, from Microsoft Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2703 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #2604. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with the module Code Integrity (ci.dll) in Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB under Cert. #2604 operating in FIPS mode

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The BitLocker® Dump Filter (dumpfve.sys) is the full volume encryption filter that resides in the system dump stack. Whenever the dump stack is called (in the event of a system crash or for hibernation), this filter ensures that all data is encrypted before it gets written to the disk as a dump file or hibernation file.
