5062 A kernel-mode cryptographic self-test was performed
Written when a kernel-mode cryptographic module performs a self-test. It is an informational event indicating a health check of kernel-space cryptographic functionality.
Overview
The subcategory is Audit System Integrity. It is generated when a kernel-mode cryptographic module performs a prescribed self-test. It is the kernel counterpart to the user-mode 5056.
How it is triggered
- A self-test at kernel crypto module initialization or at prescribed times.
Security review points
- It is normally a benign informational event. Its standalone security value is low; use it to confirm related failure events (5057/5060) are absent.
Notes for log review
- It is informational. Assess cryptographic health together with failure events.
