Recently I note that when build is in FIPS_MODE some functionality is
lost. For instance RSA_{g|s}et_ex_data is not available.
Reading the code I expect that in FIPS mode use of external keys is
forbidden.
Remark: ex_data is used to store reference information for external keys.

application?”
* It was crypt which is deprecated. Should it be BSD’s MD5? One of the
SHA2 based algorithms? Or should it produce an error if no algorithm is
selected?
If you change the default, then the program

appreciate input on.
There are two functions (DES_crypt and DES_fcrypt) which implement the old
crypt(3) password algorithm. Once these are deprecated, they will no longer be
reachable via
