+ 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 140-2 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: |
|
+ * The FIPS validation support is significantly different from the |
|
+ upstream FIPS support. For example the FIPS integrity verification |
|
+ check is implemented differently as the FIPS module is built inside |
|
+ the shared library. The HMAC-SHA256 checksums of the whole shared |
|
+ libraries are verified. Also note that the FIPS integrity |
|
+ verification check requires that the libcrypto and libssl shared |
|
+ library files are unmodified which means that it will fail if these |
|
+ files are changed for example by prelink. |
|
+ * If the file /etc/system-fips is present the integrity verification |
|
+ and selftests of the crypto algorithms are run inside the library |
|
+ constructor code. |
|
+ * With the /etc/system-fips present 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. |
|
+ With the /etc/system-fips present 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. |
|
+ * The library was patched so the certificates, CRLs and other objects |
|
+ signed with use of MD5 fail verification as the MD5 is too insecure |
|
+ to be used for signatures. If the environment variable |
|
+ OPENSSL_ENABLE_MD5_VERIFY is set, the verification can proceed |
|
+ normally. |
|
+ * If the OPENSSL_ENFORCE_MODULUS_BITS environment variable is set, |
|
+ the library will not allow generation of DSA and RSA keys with |
|
+ other lengths than specified in the FIPS 186-4 standard. |
