Microsoft SymCrypt Cryptographic Library
Microsoft SymCrypt Cryptographic Library, from Microsoft Corporation, holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5313 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2031-06-04. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in approved mode. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) and random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs.
