If you don't know or care about FIPS 140-2 then count yourself very lucky and move on. In the same spirit of collaboration that underlies all of the open source based OpenSSL FIPS Object Module validations, of which the #1747 validation is the latest, some of the stakeholders impacted by the recent "hostage" issue[*] are discussing possible responses among themselves. I have been told they would like to reach out to other "interested impacted customers". We know who some of these are, but there will be many more users of the #1747 validation on those platforms we don't know about. If you are a such a stakeholder and would like to participate in those discussions please let me know (contact info below) and I'll make the appropriate introductions. -Steve M.
