Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact Enhanced Cryptographic Provider 7.00.1687 and the Microsoft Windows CE and Windows Mobile Enhanced Cryptographic Provider 6.00.1937 (RSAENH) are general-purpose, software-based, cryptographic modules for Windows Embedded Compact. Like cryptographic providers that ship with Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact, RSAENH encapsulates several different cryptographic algorithms in an easy-to-use cryptographic module accessible via the Microsoft CryptoAPI. It can be dynamically linked into applications by software developers to permit the use of general-purpose cryptography. RSAENH meets the Level 1 FIPS 140-2 Validation requirements.
