There are no plans for further FIPS validated versions at this point. The FIPS testing costs about $30000 per release. The reason they were being done is that Groove Networks (now part of Microsoft) needed new FIPS validated versions as they upgraded their compiler from MSVC 6 to 2003 to 2005, and was willing to pay for the testing.
I was going to suggest that you use Crypto++ 5.3 if you need FIPS validation, but C++ DLLs are not compatible between different MSVC versions, so unless you upgrade your compiler you can't use that one (which only works with MSVC 2005). The only FIPS validated DLL that is compatible with MSVC 6 is 5.0.4, but it doesn't have SHA-224, which was added in version 5.2.2. -------------------------------------------------- From: "greatx" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 6:37 PM To: "Crypto++ Users" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Is SHA224 supported for ECDSA<ECP, SHA224>? - urgent > > I have just built version 5.5.2 of crypto++ and it worked fine!
