Thanks Steve. I believe the OpenSSL bundled with Ubuntu basically just added some Ubuntu packaging stuffs such as the package installation scripts, the dependency information, etc. The main source code should be pretty much the same and all the patches should still come from the OpenSSL community. Another option I was thinking was, build the FIPS modules with the openssl source in Ubuntu package, and then just replace the original Ubuntu libcrypto.so file with the libcrypto.so which integrated with the FIPS modules. Ideally this should work, or do you see any possible issues of doing this way? Thanks.
