WN11-SO-000230 - The system must be configured to use FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.
Information
This setting ensures the system uses algorithms that are FIPS compliant for encryption, hashing, and signing. FIPS-compliant algorithms meet specific standards established by the U.S. Government and must be the algorithms used for all OS encryption functions.Note: A different registry location is needed when systems are managed by Intune versus GPO.
Solution
For GPO-managed systems:Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> Security Options >> 'System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing' to 'Enabled'.
For Intune-managed systems:
Set the Intune System Cryptography Policy to use FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing.
