Really exiting news. If I'm not mistaken, this would be the first free, open-source, crypto library that has FIPS 140 module certification! Other free open-source libraries have algorithms that have been FIPS 140 certified, but the whole module hasn't been certified (exemple Cryptlib and Crypto++).
And OpenSSL crypto module runs on all kinds of platforms. Really nice! --Anton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Salz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 10:50 AM Subject: OpenSSL *source* to get FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification > This is termendously exciting.
