-Preliminary status and build information for FIPS module v2.0
-
-NB: if you are cross compiling you now need to use the latest "incore" script
-this can be found at util/incore in the tarballs.
-
-If you have any object files from a previous build do:
-
-make clean
-
-To build the module do:
-
-./config fipscanisteronly
-make
-
-Build should complete without errors.
-
-Build test utilities:
-
-make build_tests
-
-Run test suite:
-
-test/fips_test_suite
-
-again should complete without errors.
-
-Run test vectors:
-
-1. Download an appropriate set of testvectors from www.openssl.org/docs/fips
- only the fips-2.0 testvector files are usable for complete tests.
-
-2. Extract the files to a suitable directory.
-
-3. Run the test vector perl script, for example:
-
- cd fips
- perl fipsalgtest.pl --dir=/wherever/stuff/was/extracted
-
-4. It should say "passed all tests" at the end. Report full details of any
- failures.
-
-If you wish to use the older 1.2.x testvectors (for example those from 2007)
-you need the command line switch --disable-v2 to fipsalgtest.pl
-
-Examine the external symbols in fips/fipscanister.o they should all begin
-with FIPS or fips. One way to check with GNU nm is:
-
- nm -g --defined-only fips/fipscanister.o | grep -v -i fips
-
-If you get *any* output at all from this test (i.e. symbols not starting with
-fips or FIPS) please report it.
-
-Restricted tarball tests.
-
-The validated module will have its own tarball containing sufficient code to
-build fipscanister.o and the associated algorithm tests. You can create a
-similar tarball yourself for testing purposes using the commands below.
-
-Standard restricted tarball:
-
-make -f Makefile.fips dist
-
-Prime field field only ECC tarball:
-
-make NOEC2M=1 -f Makefile.fips dist
-
-Once you've created the tarball extract into a fresh directory and do:
-
-./config
-make
-
-You can then run the algorithm tests as above. This build automatically uses
-fipscanisterbuild and no-ec2m as appropriate.
-
-FIPS capable OpenSSL test: WARNING PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
-
-At least initially the test module and FIPS capable OpenSSL may change and
-by out of sync. You are advised to check for any changes and pull the latest
-source from CVS if you have problems. See anon CVS and rsync instructions at:
-
-http://www.openssl.org/source/repos.html
-
-Make or download a restricted tarball from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
-
-If required set the environment variable FIPSDIR to an appropriate location
-to install the test module. If cross compiling set other environment
-variables too.
-
-In this restricted tarball on a Linux or U*ix like system run:
-
-./config
-make
-make install
-
-On Windows from a VC++ environment do:
-
-ms\do_fips
-
-This will build and install the test module and some associated files.
-
-Now download the latest version of the OpenSSL 1.0.1 branch from either a
-snapshot or preferably CVS. For Linux do:
-
-./config fips [other args]
-make
-
-For Windows:
-
-perl Configure VC-WIN32 fips [other args]
-ms\do_nasm
-nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
-
-(or ms\nt.mak for a static build).
-
-Where [other args] can be any other arguments you use for an OpenSSL build
-such as "shared" or "zlib".
-
-This will build the fips capable OpenSSL and link it to the test module. You
-can now try linking and testing applications against the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
-
-Please report any problems to either the openssl-dev mailing list or directly
-to me steve@openssl.org . Check the mailing lists regularly to avoid duplicate
-reports.
-
-Known issues:
-
-Code needs extensively reviewing to ensure it builds correctly on
-supported platforms and is compliant with FIPS 140-2.
-The "FIPS capable OpenSSL" is still largely untested, it builds and runs
-some simple tests OK on some systems but needs far more "real world" testing.
+This release does not support a FIPS 140-2 validated module.
