Hi all, I work on a consumer application which is striving to be fips-140-2 compliant. I'm using OpenSSL as recommended in the fips guide by invoking fips_mode_set(). However, in certain parts of the same application, I'm using my own non-OpenSSL random number generator to generate salts for hashing passwords for the app user accounts(I'm not using RAND_bytes). Does anyone know if using my custom random number generator in this way violates the app's fips compliance? Am I really supposed to be using RAND_bytes for compliance reasons? Thanks in advance!
