This is a further question, related to my earlier question "Find size of
available data prior to ssl_read". The conclusion seemed to be that there
isn't a reliable way to know how much data can be requested with ssl_read.
I guess there's still something wrong with my understanding. My code now
Hello,
I'm using the OpenSSL FIPS object module and I have to program a C code that
sets FIPS 140-2 level 3. Is there a function in the C library that sets it? How
can I set the FIPS protected directory, so I can store my private key?
Any tip will be very helpful,Thanks.

Thanks for the quick answer! And about specifying a FIPS protected directory,
is there a function in the C library? I need to save my private key in a FIPS
protected directory.

I have no idea what the term "FIPS protected directory" means.
I want to exclude the private key if there is an attempt to violation. Has FIPS
this functionality?

I think you have some misconceptions about what FIPS 140-2 is and isn't.
It is "magical pixie dust", not a technique or some specific type of
Thanks for the help! I really have misconceptions about FIPS 140-2. I was
instructed to compile and install this module: http://openssl.com/fips/. But I
cannot understand how can I use it. Can you explain its functionalities? Sorry
for the dummie questions.
