[openssl-users] FIPs validation questions

[Philip Bellino]

Hello,

We use OpenSSL-1.0.2a and FIPS 2.0.9 and have questions we need to answer in conjunction with the FIPS validation

process.

One question is whether SHA1 accepts NULL (zero-length) messages?  I couldn't find anything on the OpenSSL

wiki so I thought I'd ask here.

Also, another questions is whether the AES CTR counter source is internal or external?



Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
