FIPS compliance question regarding openssl distributions

2011-03-03 Thread Alexander Sack
Hello openssl-users: I asked on the FreeBSD security list but perhaps this one is more apropos. Our company has been tasked to ship a FIPS compliant version of openssl on top of our FreeBSD based product. I am confused on what distribution I am allowed to use to create a FIPS compliant release.
