Revision 2.0.9 of the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v2.0 (FIPS 140-2 validation certificate #1747) recently received formal approval: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm#1747 This latest revision adds five new formally tested platforms ("Operational Environments") bringing the total number of such platforms to 102; more by far than for any other validated cryptographic module. We have some more platforms on the way... As always, there is no need to upgrade any already deployed instances of the OpenSSL FIPS Module. But, if you're doing new development it's preferable to use the latest revision as that will be valid for all tested platforms. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marquess at opensslfoundation.com marquess at openssl.com gpg/pgp key: http://openssl.com/docs/0x6D1892F5.asc
