Windows Embedded Compact Cryptographic Primitives Library (bcrypt.dll)

Certificate

Module description

The Microsoft Windows Cryptographic Primitives Library is a general purpose, software-based, cryptographic module. The primitive provider functionality is offered through one cryptographic module, BCRYPT.DLL (version 7.00.2883), subject to FIPS 140-2 validation. BCRYPT.DLL provides cryptographic services, through its documented interfaces, to Windows Embedded Compact 7 components and applications running on Windows Embedded Compact 7.

Security level exceptions

• Physical Security: N/A
• Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
