Hi George My understanding is that FIPS 151-2 is now withdrawn. Either way we have the relevant test coverage in the VSX-PCTS which as well as being a POSIX test suite has a FIPS test mode. Our belief is that the VSX-PCTS is a better base than the NIST-PCTS, for example it uses the TET/VSXgen frameworks that allow it to be more flexible. Also the last update to the NIST-PCTS was 1995ish, whereas VSX-PCTS is an ongoing concern.
We're working on a detailed test status to give at the upcoming LSB meeting in SFO in a couple of weeks. regards Andrew On Jun 1, 10:01am in "Federal Information ", [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Andrew, > > In your LinuxWorld presentation you mentioned that early versions of > GNU/Linux were certified for FIPS 151-2.
