Does anyone know how to produce a FIPS-capable OpenSSL that works on Windows NT?
It's likely not possible...
But when I run it under Windows NT, I get the following run-time error:
"The procedure entry point Module32NextW could not be located in the dynamic
link library KERNEL32.dll"
If you use the equivalent of nm against the fipscanister.lib, I'd expect
you'll find the binding there.
I see no reason the team would accommodate this in OpenSSL/FIPS 2.0, though.
Support for Windows NT 4.xx ended on December 31, 2004. Support for Windows
2000 ended on July 13, 2010. So updating "security" or cryptographic software
validation for such systems is something of an oxymoron.
Ah, so OpenSSL has fallen for the propaganda that if the
manufacturer (MS) stops supporting a software version, you
should do so too, thus increasing harm to those affected by
the manufacturer decision.
