Boot Manager

Certificate details

Certificate ID	#5404
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 of the Security Policy. When operated in approved mode with module Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library (cng.sys) validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5408 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
Exceptions	Non-invasive security: N/A
Description	The Windows Boot Manager module is a multi-chip standalone software-hybrid cryptographic module. Boot Manager is the first Windows OS component to load when the computer powers up. When Secure Boot is enabled, the integrity of Boot Manager is validated before loading by the computer’s UEFI firmware. Along with other startup and initialization tasks, Boot Manager loads and cryptographically validates the integrity of Winload.efi (the Windows OS Loader), the next module in the startup sequence. The Boot Manager, which includes parts of BitLocker disk encryption, collects authorization factors, known as “protectors”, by reading data or interacting with the user. BitLocker uses these protectors to encrypt entire disk volumes.
Vendor	Microsoft Corporation

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.
