I still do not know that much about the validation in practical terms. If our units go through validation, can this benefit OpenSSL ?

Also, to go back to the SP 800-90 vs. SP 800-90A regarding the DRBGs, do you know how would the OpenSSL SP 800-90 validation fare in a FIPS testing lab since the Dual EC was removed and the other three were not touched ?

Regards.
