You're trying for your own "private label" validation. The OpenSSL FIPS
Object Module was a good model for that (by design), but note the CMVP
has recently introduced some new requirements that raise the pain threshold.

You might want to look at the existing code for handling all required
FIPS 140-2 algorithm testing. See the FIPS module User Guide:

  http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-2.0.pdf

Appendix B.

That will be the easy part...
