Steve, Please see response from Randy (CMVP Director) below. It clearly indicates older versions (including v1.2) are no longer considered validated since they are not listed on the website: *"Ashit, You can always view the change history by downloading the CMVP Validation DB from: http://csrc.n

Steve, First let me clarify that it isn't my intent to challenge OpenSSL validation. In fact the reason I started down this path is because I have a product that uses v1.2 and needs to claim FIPS compliance. I cannot legitimately make that claim if v1.2 is not listed. However I have sent a query

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

Thanks Steve. This makes sense (i.e. newer versions subsuming older versions). However given that 1.2 is no longer listed on the NIST website, that version can no longer be considered FIPS validated. This is an issue for deployed products that have depended on v1.2 for FIPS compliance. -Ashit On

It should be public, and probably must be public, given it is supposed to be true open-source, etc. Everyone should be able to do test builds (on all types of architectures and variants etc) to iron out bugs, etc, before being submitted for validation. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't avail

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 source is
