Using fips AES OFB

2009-01-07 Thread a_l t
Hi, I'm using the fips approved OpenSSL to do AES encryption in ISDN, therefore, I need to use the fips_128_AES_OFB function. If I understand correctly this function works on a 128bit (16 byte) block, so if I want to use it on larger blocks I need to call it in a loop. This is different from the A

I'm running it on TI DSP (C6455) and it takes around 1 minute. On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 10:28 PM, Victor Duchovni < victor.ducho...@morganstanley.com> wrote: > On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 05:28:14PM +0200, a_l t wrote: > > > I'm using the FIPS approved OpenSSL. >

Fips self-tests

2008-12-21 Thread a_l t
Hi, I'm using the FIPS approved OpenSSL. In the initialization it runs several self tests which take quite a long time. I use only several algorithms from the OpenSSL, is there a way to remove the self tests of the algorithms that I don't use (like DSA) without losing the FIPS certification. Thank
