Hello there I am trying to use the OpenSSL-fips version 1.2 for our application ( Webserver ) in Vxworks. I was able to integrate the library and executing FIPS_mode_set is successful. After initializing the SSL_library_init, The code tries to read the RSA key from a key.pem file.
I notice that it uses the methods PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey-> PEM_read_bio_PrivateKey -> PEM_bytes_read_bio ->PEM_do_header and the PEM_do_header fails always once I enable the FIPS_mode if not it succesfully decrypts the RSA Key I googled around and found a link where they faced a similar problem in OpenSSH. In which he changed the digest parameter from EVP_md5() to EVP_sha1() in method EVP_BytesToKey I tried the same but still it fails to decrypt the information from the key I would really appreciate if someone can throw some hint what I might be doing wrong Thanks John Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
