The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 1.2 has been extended to include support

Do they (or anyone else) also intend to sponsor the same extension for 
the new v2.0 module ?


I must say that in the rather extensive list of OS for the new module OS 
X and iOS are the two that are most obviously missing.

Well :-) I've *just* seen the following text in paragraph 2.7 of the 
user guide of module v2.0 :

[pending] Addition of Apple iOS 5.1 on ARM
[pending] Addition of WinCE 5.0 on ARM
[pending] Addition of Linux 2.6 on PowerPC32-e500
[pending] Addition of DSP Media Framework 1.4 on TI C64x+

So, on the other hand there's no Mac OS X pending  ?

I've also fielded a number of queries about AIX. We even have (or had)
sponsors interested in funding the validation testing costs for
AIX/Power, but were unable to arrange for the necessary hardware and
software to test on.

Correct; to date we have had no sponsors interested in funding OS X for
the 2.0 validation. The 2.0 software supports that platform (thanks to
the Thursby sponsorship for 1.2.4) and it could still be added via a
change letter update.

OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 1.2.4 support for Apple iOS and OS X

2012-06-25 Thread Steve Marquess
The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 1.2 has been extended to include support
for the iOS and Mac OS X operating systems, as the newly released
revision 1.2.4. This new support was made possible by a collaboration
with Thursby Software Systems, Inc, (http://www.thursby.com/), a leading
vendor of commercial Apple enterprise integration products.

This module corresponds to the FIPS 140-2 validation certificate
#1051, see

  http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm#1051

The new 1.2.4 source distribution can be found at:

  http://openssl.org/source/openssl-fips-1.2.4.tar.gz

An update to the 1.2 User Guide document should be forthcoming in a few
days:

  http://openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-1.2.pdf

Note UserGuide.pdf is currently a symlink to UserGuide-1.2.pdf, but
will soon reference the new User Guide 2.0 document for the upcoming
OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 2.0.
