FIPS
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 OpenSSL is now added to the OpenSSL
product. For more information about FIPS 140-2, see the following web address:
http://www.oss-institute.org/index.php?option=com_content=blogcategory=84=123
IMPORTANT: The FIPS code is certified only if it is identical with the source code released by
the Open Source Software Institute (OSSI) organization on the OpenSSL website. In the event of
a security vulnerability, HP cannot modify the source code because a modification of the source
code can invalidate the certification.
If a vulnerability is found in the FIPS code, HP will wait until the OSSI organization releases a new
FIPS 140-2 certified FIPS module before updating the HP OpenSSL product with the new FIPS code.
This release of OpenSSL also contains some minor enhancements included in OpenSSL A.00.09.07m
and A.00.09.08w. For more information, see the OpenSSL Changelog at:
