+ 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. |
