No, the OpenSSL FIPS module 2.0 code is no longer suitable (as of early 2014) for use as-is in doing copycat validations. Some non-trivial code hacks will be necessary. We'll do a new open source based validation to succeed the 2.0 FIPS module (#1747 validation) at the first opportunity, but that opportunity has not yet presented itself. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Software Foundation, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marqu...@opensslfoundation.com marqu...@openssl.com gpg/pgp key: http://openssl.com/docs/0x6D1892F5.asc _______________________________________________ openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
