Does FIPS mode prevent use of MD5: Yes.

Does FIPS mode prevent insecure uses of SHA-1 (a FIPS
algorithm): No.

Does FIPS mode prevent the SSL/TLS handshake from using
96 bit truncated HMAC values: Probably not.

Does FIPS mode prevent use of the insecurely designed
'tls-unique' feature: Probably not.


Enjoy
