Hello,
We have been unable to obtain a clear answer from Microsoft on this question. Was hoping someone in this community has some insight.
Is Microsoft Bitlocker on a Windows 10 computer FIPS 140-2 compliant out of the box (without any additional system changes)?
Additional color to the question: In the Local Security Policy of Windows 10 (secpol) there is a setting:
Security Settings --> Local Policies --> Security Options --> System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing and signing.
Does this policy need to be enabled for Bitlocker to be FIPS 140-2 compliant, or is Bitlocker on it's own FIPS 140-2 compliant without the need to enable this policy?
If you know the answer, can you point me to a document that clearly states this for Windows 10 Enterprise? We have found some documentation but it's old - 2014 and seems to apply to older versions of Windows, not Windows 10.
Thanks,
Pete
