Using FIPS mode and modifying apps

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

A system running in FIPS can have several applications using libssl.
openvpn and openswan are two.  There can be 3rd party web servers.  So
on.  Is there any 'library magic' these days that would prevent
modifying each and every application to add a FIPS_mode_set() call and
error handling ?  I guess there isn't although I'm not risking anything
in asking :)

So basically every app that uses libssl will have to be modified to
add a FIPS_mode_set() call near the beginning.  Is that right ?

Thanks for any comments and suggestions !

Regards.
