+ WARNING
|
||
|
+ -------
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+ This version of OpenSSL is built in a way that supports operation in
|
||
|
+ the so called FIPS mode. Note though that the library as we build it
|
||
|
+ is not FIPS validated and the FIPS mode is present for testing purposes
|
||
|
+ only.
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+ This version also contains a few differences from the upstream code
|
||
|
+ some of which are:
|
||
|
+ * There are added changes forward ported from the upstream OpenSSL
|
||
|
+ 0.9.8 FIPS branch however the FIPS integrity verification check
|
||
|
+ is implemented differently from the upstream FIPS validated OpenSSL
|
||
|
+ module. It verifies HMAC-SHA256 checksum of the whole shared
|
||
|
+ libraries. For this reason the changes are ported to files in the
|
||
|
+ crypto directory and not in a separate fips subdirectory. Also
|
||
|
+ note that the FIPS integrity verification check requires unmodified
|
||
|
+ libcrypto and libssl shared library files which means that it will
|
||
|
+ fail if these files are modified for example by prelink.
|
||
|
+ * The module respects the kernel FIPS flag /proc/sys/crypto/fips and
|
||
|
+ tries to initialize the FIPS mode if it is set to 1 aborting if the
|
||
|
+ FIPS mode could not be initialized. It is also possible to force the
|
||
|
+ OpenSSL library to FIPS mode especially for debugging purposes by
|
||
|
+ setting the environment variable OPENSSL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE.
|
||
|
+ * If the environment variable OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB is set the module
|
||
|
+ will not automatically load the built in compression method ZLIB
|
||
|
+ when initialized. Applications can still explicitely ask for ZLIB
|
||
|
+ compression method.
