Hi Tomas, If we are using OpenSSL 3.2.x and during the build, if we use the command enable-fips and install OpenSSL, then we can't claim for fips compliance. Is this understanding right? OpenSSL FIPS provider module 3.0 (+ACM-4282) is tested only in 3.0.8 and 3.0.9 and that is the reason we should pick from these OpenSSL versions. What is the OpenSSL FIPS provider module in the OpenSSL 3.2.x version?

( will there be any specific code changes or config changes we as an application need to consider) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Tomas Mraz +ADw-tomas+AEA-openssl.org+AD4- Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2024 1:14 PM To: Prasad, PCRaghavendra+ADs- Wall, Stephen+ADs- openssl-users+AEA-openssl.org Subject: Re: Need help - upgrading openssl version from 3.0.12 to 3.2.x version +AFs-EXTERNAL EMAIL+AF0- For FIPS compliance you definitely need to use the validated version of a FIPS provider.
