This is termendously exciting. For the first time ever, NIST will be
certifying a FIPS 140 implementation based on the source code. As long
as the "pedigree" of the source is tracked, and checked at run-time,
then applications can claim FIPS certification.
For details:

This is much like t
Really exiting news. If I'm not mistaken, this would be the first free,
open-source,
crypto library that has FIPS 140 module certification! Other free
open-source
libraries have algorithms that have been FIPS 140 certified, but the whole
module
hasn't been certified (exemple Cryptlib and Crypto++

I believe that this is incorrect.

It is the first *source code* certification.

The ability to do this runs counter to my understanding of FIPS 140-2.
First, there are a series of requirements that deal with executable
binary authentication that I'm not sure could be met
