Windows OS Loader

Certificate details

Certificate ID	#5405
Status	active
Validation dates	31.08.2026
Sunset date	30-08-2031
Standard	FIPS 140-3
Security level	1
Type	Software-Hybrid
Embodiment	MultiChipStand
Caveat	When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11.1 of the Security Policy. When operated in approved mode with module Boot Manager validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5404 operating in approved mode. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs. No assurance of FIPS 140-3 requirements met for the components of the RBG construct that are external to the module boundary (e.g., DRBG, ESV) except for SP 800-90C compliance and security strength of the provided random bits
Exceptions	Non-invasive security: N/A
Description	The Windows OS Loader (the "module") is the component that loads the operating system kernel (ntoskrnl.exe) and other boot stage binary image files. The module is a part of BitLocker Drive Encryption, which is a data protection feature of the Windows operating system that encrypts data on a storage volume.
Vendor	Microsoft Corporation
References	This certificate's webpage directly references 1 certificates, transitively this expands into 3 certificates.

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.
