While at the NIST FIPS 140 site earlier today (looking for that mysterious nCipher certificate), I noticed that certificate #350 was issued last Friday -- for "IBM Crypto for C (ICC)".
I think that the interesting thing about this crypto [SW] module and cert is that it's based on OpenSSL. I know we've discussed the [forthcoming] validation of OpenSSL itself, and we know about the Crypto++ and Netscape/Sun/Mozilla open source crypto modules, but my question now is, are there any other "OpenSSL-based" FIPS 140 validated crypto modules, or is this the first? -Ron Disclaimer: although I'm employed by IBM, I had nothing to with this validation or with ICC (it's a big place) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
