The key issue still remains, are the validated SP800-90 DRBGs the _same_ as SP800-90A's DRBGs? If yes then we can probably use Openssl-FIPS with SP800-90A, otherwise OpenSSL-FIPS 2.0.9 probably can no longer be used for any new validations? Thanks, xxiao --- Hi, For the second question any DRBG that are approved in FIPS SP 800-90A are approved for any application. You can chose over tha Hash, HMAC or CTR DRBG equivalently.
