All, I understand that there is not currenlty a FIPS compatible option available for openSSL version 0.9.8x. We are hesitant to downgrade our current version to 0.9.7 due to outstanding security fixes that only exist in 0.9.8.
I do however understand that there are plans to enable the 0.9.8 version to operate in FIPS mode. Is anyone aware of a forecast date as to when a certified solution would be available ? I had seen estimates ranging from February of this year to the later part of this year or even as late as early next year. How can we get a more accurate view of the anticipated availability ? Regards, Gerald
