Folks -

I have a basic question relative to the FIPS openSSL lib and US export
control law. As I understand it, in order for the openSSL lib to run as a
FIPS certified module, it must be configured to be loaded as a dynamically
linked library. If that is so, how do you get a export classification of
less than RESTRICTED since the library contains strong crypto, and the lib
could be used to encrypt user data at rates which exceed the positive list
restrictions?
