Seeking Assistance for InvalidOperationException in Windows Platform FIPS Validation

Hello community,

I'm encountering the following exception while running unit tests:


System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1Managed..ctor()
Microsoft.Cci.UnitHelper.ComputePublicKeyToken(IEnumerable`1 publicKey)
Microsoft.Cci.PeReader.GetAssemblyIdentifier(PEFileReader peFileReader)
Microsoft.Cci.PeReader.OpenModule(IBinaryDocument binaryDocument, ModuleIdentity& moduleIdentity)
Microsoft.Cci.MetadataReader.DefaultWindowsRuntimeHost.LoadUnitFrom(String location)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.SingleAssemblyHost.ReadAssembly(String assemblyPath)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.SingleAssemblyHost.LoadAssemblyFrom(String location)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.FakesAssemblyReflector.GetShimedTypesInfo(String fakeAssemblyFullPath, StringBuilder builder)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.FakesAssemblyReflector.ReflectShimTypes(String fakesAssembly, String fakedTypesCacheFilePath)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.FakesAssemblyReflector.ReflectShimTypes(String fakesAssemblyFullPath)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.UnitTestIsolationDataCollector.PopulateCollectionPlan(_CollectionPlan plan, XmlElement settings)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.UnitTestIsolationDataCollector.OnFirstCollectorToInitialize(XmlElement configurationElement)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.CommonDataCollector.OnInitialize(XmlElement configurationElement)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TraceCollector.BaseDataCollector.InternalConstruct(XmlElement configurationElement, IDataCollectionEvents events, IDataCollectionSink dataSink, IDataCollectionLogger logger, IDataCollectionAgentContext agentContext)
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Common.DataCollector.DataCollectorInformation.InitializeDataCollector()
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Common.DataCollector.DataCollectionManager.LoadAndInitialize(DataCollectorSettings dataCollectorSettings, String settingsXml)



Note: For our security requirements we are enabling the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy, and we cannot disable it.

I know it is related to FIPS validation in the Windows Platform which cause by enabling FipsAlgorithmPolicy.

I would like to know do we have any other alternative to get rid of this exception while running tests.

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Regards,
