Hi What is the difference in libfips.a and fips.so.? Selftest.c and fipsprov.c is extra in fips.so library compilation. Does it mean that it just add provider entry function and self test, which is required for fips certification.?
Once openssl3.0 is fips certified, can we use libfips.a directly ? My requirement is to use fips certified algorithm but environment may not have capability to load dynamic library, so just thinking how openssl3.0 should be used? Regards Manish
