Any Apache/mod_ssl developers out there?

2007-11-19 Thread Victor B. Wagner
Hi there, Is there somebody involved in development of mod_ssl module for Apache? Question is - since support for GOST cryptography is added to OpenSSL 0.9.9, we are now going to implement support of GOST ciphersuites in the Apache (because https is most frequent use of TLS with national

PKCS#11 wrapper around OpenSSL

2007-11-19 Thread Victor B. Wagner
I was asked by one user if we are planning to provide PKCS#11 module, based on OpenSSL (it was in the context of adding GOST algorithms support to the Mozilla-based software). I doubt is this solution is technically feasable. As far as I know, most people do it other way around - write

There are some things that are quite hard problems doing it the other way round. FIPS certification with the OpenSSL engine plugin active is probably the worst. With PKCS#11 on top of OpenSSL you have an industry standard API, which most hardware cards support. So you could swap a FIPS certified

OpenCryptoki's Soft token based on openssl, was never intended to be a FIPS capable function, its simply intended to be an example for those who might wish to a) test PKCS#11 applications without having to have a card b) implement a token for an accelerator, other examples in opencryptoki are

I believe that Sun contributed a pretty robust PKCS#11 engine for openSSL. Soft token exists in opencryptoki today, if i ever find time, I will be porting this to OSX Alon Bar-Lev wrote: On Nov 6, 2007 11:07 AM, Victor B. Wagner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was asked by one user if we are

I was just using FIPS as one of the examples where PKCS#11 OVER OpenSSL is a potentially better solution than the engine backends. I'm dealing with FIPS certification issues all the time, so this was the obvious example - it's caused me the most pain. The other obvious problem is where you have
