Regarding the certificate, it will never be updated. Whenever the CMVP updates a listing because of a change letter process (IG G.5 scenario 1) they only update the website listing. They never update the certificate. The understanding is that the website listing supersedes the certificate. Please s

Hello, I searched the archives but did not find the answer to this question. What is the reason OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2 is no longer listed as FIPS validated? It seems only v1.2.3 is now listed: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401val2008.htm#1051 Thanks in advance

The FIPS validation process is... odd. And not at all conducive to the open-source development model. There is no available OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2. Until it passes validation, anyway, at which point the openssl-fips-1.2.0.tar.gz file will be made available. I don't think the sour
