Hello,

  Regarding using libreswan in FIPS mode...  Is all of the encryption done 
using XFRM in kernel space ?  Would that mean that all crypto (C/asm) code is 
located in the kernel ?  IS there any plug-in alternative to use OpenSSL 
instead ?  I'm asking because of the overhead (time and money) that could be 
required to have the kernel crypto code validate under FIPS.  Whereas OpenSSL 
is already validated.  OTOH, going through OpenSSL would have a (significant) 
impact on performance.  Any thoughts about libreswan and FIPS validation ?

Regards.
