+ WARNING
|
| 9 |
+ -------
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+ This version of OpenSSL is built in a way that supports operation in
|
| 12 |
+ the so called FIPS mode. Note though that the library as we build it
|
| 13 |
+ is not FIPS validated and the FIPS mode is present for testing purposes
|
| 14 |
+ only.
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+ This version also contains a few differences from the upstream code
|
| 17 |
+ some of which are:
|
| 18 |
+ * The FIPS integrity verification check is implemented differently
|
| 19 |
+ from the upstream FIPS validated OpenSSL module. It verifies
|
| 20 |
+ HMAC-SHA256 checksum of the whole libcrypto shared library.
|
| 21 |
+ * The module respects the kernel FIPS flag /proc/sys/crypto/fips and
|
| 22 |
+ tries to initialize the FIPS mode if it is set to 1 aborting if the
|
| 23 |
+ FIPS mode could not be initialized. It is also possible to force the
|
| 24 |
+ OpenSSL library to FIPS mode especially for debugging purposes by
|
| 25 |
+ setting the environment variable OPENSSL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE.
|
| 26 |
+ * If the environment variable OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB is set the module
|
| 27 |
+ will not automatically load the built in compression method ZLIB
|
| 28 |
+ when initialized. Applications can still explicitely ask for ZLIB
|
| 29 |
+ compression method.
|
| 30 |
+ * There is added a support for EAP-FAST through TLS extension. This code
|
| 31 |
+ is backported from OpenSSL upstream development branch.
