Alex Gaynor added the comment: I'm opposed to adding FIPS knobs to Python's SSL module for a few reasons:
- FIPS is a bad standard (which I'm happy to talk at length about) - OpenSSL is regularly on the verge of dropping FIPS support (https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2016/07/20/fips/ is the most recent rescue from the brink of removal) - It further ties us to the OpenSSL API, in favor of being a more general purpose SSL API. ---------- nosy: +alex, christian.heimes, dstufft, giampaolo.rodola, janssen, pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27592> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
