I didn't see an answer to this. At present there is no OpenSSL FIPS Object Module for use with the 1.0.0 branch, though a validation is in progress (http://openssl.org/docs/fips/fipsvalidation.html). Until that is available (current estimate, February 2012) your only no-cost option is to use the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2.3 with OpenSSL 0.9.8. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877-673-6775 marqu...@opensslfoundation.com ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
