Hello,

  Is there a method that is always in the path of execution when a crypto error 
occurs ?  The reason for asking is that I would like to very slightly modify 
the OpenSSL FIPS version so that it will write a file in tmpfs when an error 
occurs.  That place will be observed by another app using inotify.  Granted, 
modifying OpenSSL FIPS will void its FIPS certification.  But then, the whole 
unit will be validated.  Having a single place to modify would be quite an 
extraordinary thing.  I have asked recently about a related topic and got some 
replies regarding the modification of applications, although modifying the 
library would provide a single package to modify.  Steve has replied that 
indeed the validation will be lost - I wonder if that would have any impact on 
the total validation costs for a whole unit, OS and apps ?  Would a 
non-modified FIPS OpenSSL library reduce the
validation costs ?

Any comments and suggestions welcomed, regards.
