[openssl-dev] FIPS validation

The FIPS validation company says:

"The tests I am most interested in are the failure cases, where you induce an error in each of the power-on self-tests and conditional tests (i.e, continuous RNG test, pairwise consistency test)."

Can anybody tell me how I can induce these errors?

I do run the FIPS_selftest() function on demand and the POST has never failed when I switch to FIPS mode with FIPS_mode_set().

Thanks
