[openssl-users] /dev/random in FIPS mode Error: PRNG not seeded

Hello, We have a custom hardware system running Linux Debian OS having openssl 1.0.2l compiled with FIPS module 2.0. We are trying for FIPS 140-2 certification. By default it looks like openssl RAND_poll() uses /dev/urandom for entropy. We are told this may not be acceptable for FIPS 140-2 Level

RE: openssl 1..0.1e -bad sig size 32 32 for DSA 2048 keys

Thanks for the quick reply. Since FIPS-140-3 may limit DSA key limit to be not less than 2048, Is there a chance of 2048 DSA key support in the near future upstream versions of openssl? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/openssl-1-0-1e-bad-sig-size-32-3

openssl 1..0.1e -bad sig size 32 32 for DSA 2048 keys

Hi, I built and installed openssl 1.0.1e. When i try to connect using ssh with 2048 DSA keys, i get *bad sig size 32 32* error. Is this a bug? Here is how i created the keys. openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 openssl dsaparam -out dsaparam.pem 2048 openssl gendsa -out ssh_dsa_key

FIPS_Mode_set() and Integrity check

Hi All, I have a question about FIPS mode and Integrity check. 1)I built FIPS 2.0.2 module, libcrypto.1.0.0 with FIPS and dynamically linked against *sshd* and installed on target machine, which is working fine. 2)I cleaned up the libraries, build FIPS module and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 again and repla

compiling mod_ssl as shared forms mod_ssl.a and not mod_ssl.so

Hi, I am trying to compile httpd 2.4.4 with openssl 1.0.1e. I want mod_ssl to be linked dynamically as mod_ssl.so But after compiling using following config option results in mod_ssl.a . ./configure --prefix=/etc/apache2 --with-ssl=/openssl_cc1 *--enable-so --enable-mods-shared=all* --enable-ht

or the ciphers?/ Sorry, i was under the impression that Selecting TLS version automatically sets the same versioned ciphers. I may be mistaken here. Jakobs mail clears the confusion for me. Thanks! Cipher. -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Is-it-possible

Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. It worked. *ssh_aes_ctr_iv: no context [preauth]* message was coming because i was passing EVP type to that function. Now its fine after passing evp. Thanks, Cipher -- View this message in context: http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/OpenSSL-internal-error

Re: AES key wrap feature unavailable in FIPS mode OpenSSL?

Hi, given the point this was posted in 2011, i hope this is resolved and i can get some help with my problem! I have a similar problem with openssl 1.0.1c compiled with FIPS 2.0.2 and OPENSSH 6.1p1. Here is the debug mode of sshd with aes256-ctr cipher FIPS mode initialized debug1: inetd sockets

OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: Low level API call to cipher AES forbidden in FIPS mode

Hi, I complied and installed FIPS capable OPENSSL 1.0.1c and OPENSSH 6.1p1 with FIPS. While debugging i found that SSH fails for *ctr* mode of cipher operation. Here is what i get when i connect using aes256-ctr or aes128-cbc FIPS mode initialized debug1: inetd sockets after dupping: 3, 3

Re: FIPS_rand_set_key and FIPS_rand_seed

I found the solution, it has nothing to do with forking. Here is what i did- I was writing IN FIPS MODE message to *stdout*. When sshd forks child process to handle scp, this stdout was being passed over the pipe causing the issue. My issue got resolved after writing the FIPS mode message

Re: FIPS_rand_set_key and FIPS_rand_seed

I have related problem. My *sshd* is compiled with FIPS 2.0.2 incorporated openssl 1.0.1c and runs fine in SBX. But when i try to do scp from a remote system, initial connection is successful but connection get closed immediately. If i am not wrong, scp internally calls ssh which forks a new proces
