You should patch OpenSSL whether you use it with the FIPS module or not. >From the perspective of the FIPS 140-2 validation, stock OpenSSL is just application code and is out of scope. So you can patch/hack OpenSSL proper as much as you want; as long as the intact FIPS module is built per the mandated process its FIPS-ness is unaffected by OpenSSL. -Steve M. -- Steve Marquess OpenSSL Validation Services, Inc. 1829 Mount Ephraim Road Adamstown, MD 21710 USA +1 877 673 6775 s/b +1 301 874 2571 direct marqu...@openssl.com gpg/pgp key: http://openssl.com/docs/0x6D1892F5.asc -- openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
