Re: [openssl-users] OpenSSL Compile Issues (and general knowledge questions)

2015-03-27 Thread John Foley
The 'make depend' regenerates the dependencies for the makefiles. The dependencies will change depending on the configuration options you've passed to OpenSSL. If you're new to using GNU make, here's a decent explanation: http://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/advanced-auto-dependency-generatio

[openssl-users] OpenSSL Compile Issues (and general knowledge questions)

2015-03-27 Thread Lesley Kimmel
All; I'm an administrator/engineer responsible for compiling Apache with OpenSSL supporting FIPS mode. I've got a good process down that generally works. However, I am looking for a little help on some details because I am not a developer and am not about digging through the source code to figu

It's me again, :-) If you have to store binary data without a way to get the correct length later, you should instead endode it in a 'textual' form before storage : base64 or hexa. Is it what you were asking for ? -Message d'origine- De : openssl-users [mailto:openssl-users-boun...@opens

Hi again Phil, May be I read your mail too quickly. > … so we don't have the correct encrypted length value to pass to the decryption routine. How is it possible ? If you stored the encrypted data, you should at least know the size of what is in the file or the database column, don't you ? _

Hi Phil, First, let me emphasized that Richard was rigth in a previous post : it is not good pratice to compare login info to decrypted password. It is better NOT to keep user password when possible, and compare login to salted hash password instead. As you already know : the encrypted length is

Michel, Thank you very much for your email. The example given in your email works out fine if the encryption and decryption are performed in the same routine. The problem we are having is that we perform the encryption and then at some in the future we need to do the decryption. At that point, we

Re: [openssl-users] QNX cross-compiled openssl with fips

2015-03-27 Thread Piotr Łobacz
Another problem is that compiled cross-compiled OpenSSL with fips should start in its own prompt but it only spews the expected signature and exits. I have modified fipsld scripts as shown in the manual and this does not help. Incore was used from the tarball but maybe i have to use some special mo
