Looks like there is a relevant discussion here http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.openssl.users/msg/fa55b6bac4f91d8f _ _____________________________________ From: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org [owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of David Weidenkopf [dweidenk...@cococorp.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 6:51 PM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: openssl FIPS and linux kernel crypto
Hello, has anyone ever tried to incorporate the FIPS crypto module(sepcifically the crypto algorithms) into a kernel module? Or the feasibility of such an effort? The idea is that you then have FIPS capable crypto in the kernel. The kernel crypto api, as far as I can tell, is designed to allow for replacement and extension of supported algorithms. Why couldn't the fips canister be incorporated into a kernel module? Appreciate any wisdom that anyone is willing to share!
