Hi Frederic, The edc.dat file is a hash of the program (IIRC). Wei uses it for testing (and other's use it as required). I'm not sure how along the FIPS 140 compliance is. I was thumbing through the document (see http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-2.htm), and its quite a handful. 1) Actually generate the hash of the exe. OR 2) Create an empty edc.dat file. When you run the FIPS build, you will get an error that the hash should be some value. Copy that value into the file, and you should be on your way. If you would like to work with a non-FIPS build in VC: >From the Build Menu, Select 'Set Active Configuration...' In the Dialog, chose 'cryptest - Win32 Debug' Jeff
