Thanks for the information, Steve. I do have some questions about the FIPS module.
1. What does 'support' mean? Does it involve source code change or is it simple changes in the configure script to make the code compile correctly in a specific OS and generate the proper library? 2. Since the FIPS module 2.0 has already been certified will it require a new certification if iOS support is added? Or is it going to fall into the 'Change Letter' modification category? 3. From what is currently available, if a user wants to use OpenSSL FIPS module for MacOS, the only option seems to be FIPS module 1.2.4 (and implicitly OpenSSL 0.9.8)? 4. It seems there is a sponsor for FIPS module 1.2.4 for MacOS but not in FIPS module 2.0. What is involved in a 'sponsorship'? 5. If we take the source code and create an Xcode project to build the library instead of using the configure script but use the same flags and defines specified in the Makefile, will the resulting library still be consider valid, assuming it passes all the tests that come with the source code?
