[openssl-users] FIPS mode restrictions and DES

[jonetsu]

Thanks for all the comments, they're much appreciated.  It is a Debian
system, so there is no Red Hat FIPS validation (or SuSE which also has one I
think) or validated components that can be used.

If I may, I'd like to ask about including the Linux kernel in the
validation.  Now, including glibc2 was a pretty bad idea, it cannot get
better with the kernel.  In this case, IPSec (libreswan) is using the
kernel's crypto functions.  So it seems there would be no way out of this
one.  Any insight on this matter ? - thanks.

Regards.
