Hi everyone, I'm writing an application which can operate in FIPS mode, for which I'm calling FIPS_mode_set(). At one point, I'm also seeding the PRNG using RAND_load_file() so I can generate random bytes later.
What I'm unsure about is that for FIPS mode operation, am I required to do the seeding after calling FIPS_mode_set() or is it OK for me to call it before as well? Also, what about the calls to initialization functions like SSL_library_init() ? I'd really appreciate if someone could help me understand the proper sequence of these function calls from a FIPS 140-2 compliance perspective. Thanks in advance! Pratyush
