give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for

"NAME"
OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS - OpenSSL FIPS provider
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The OpenSSL \s-1FIPS\s0 provider is a special provider that conforms to the Federal Information Processing Standards (\s-1FIPS\s0) specified in \s-1FIPS 140-2.\s0 This 'module' contains an approved set of cryptographic algorithms that is validated by an accredited testing laboratory.
"Properties"
Subsection "Properties" The implementations in this provider specifically have these properties defined: Item "provider=fips"

0 Item "fips=yes"

It may be used in a property query string with fetching functions such as \fBEVP_MD_fetch\|(3) or EVP_CIPHER_fetch\|(3), as well as with other functions that take a property query string, such as \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name\|(3).

It isn't mandatory to query for any of these properties, except to make sure to get implementations of this provider and none other.

The \*(L"fips=yes\*(R" property can be use to make sure only \s-1FIPS\s0 approved implementations are used for crypto operations. This may also include other non-crypto support operations that are not in the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider, such as asymmetric key encoders, see \*(L"Asymmetric Key Management\*(R" in OSSL_PROVIDER-default\|(7).

"SELF TESTING"
Header "SELF TESTING" One of the requirements for the \s-1FIPS\s0 module is self testing. An optional callback mechanism is available to return information to the user using \fBOSSL_SELF_TEST_set_callback\|(3).

The parameters passed to the callback are described in OSSL_SELF_TEST_new\|(3)

The OpenSSL \s-1FIPS\s0 module uses the following mechanism to provide information about the self tests as they run. This is useful for debugging if a self test is failing. The callback also allows forcing any self test to fail, in order to check that it operates correctly on failure. Note that all self tests run even if a self test failure occurs.

The \s-1FIPS\s0 module passes the following type(s) to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(). Item "Module_Integrity (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_MODULE_INTEGRITY)" Uses \s-1HMAC SHA256\s0 on the module file to validate that the module has not been modified. The integrity value is compared to a value written to a configuration file during installation. Item "Install_Integrity (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_INSTALL_INTEGRITY)" Uses \s-1HMAC SHA256\s0 on a fixed string to validate that the installation process has already been performed and the self test \s-1KATS\s0 have already been tested, The integrity value is compared to a value written to a configuration file after successfully running the self tests during installation. Item "KAT_Cipher (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_CIPHER)" Known answer test for a symmetric cipher. Item "KAT_AsymmetricCipher (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_ASYM_CIPHER)" Known answer test for a asymmetric cipher. Item "KAT_Digest (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_DIGEST)" Known answer test for a digest. Item "KAT_Signature (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_SIGNATURE)" Known answer test for a signature. Item "PCT_Signature (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_PCT_SIGNATURE)" Pairwise Consistency check for a signature. Item "KAT_KDF (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_KDF)" Known answer test for a key derivation function. Item "KAT_KA (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_KAT_KA)" Known answer test for key agreement. Item "DRBG (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_DRBG)" Known answer test for a Deterministic Random Bit Generator. Item "Conditional_PCT (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_PCT)" Conditional test that is run during the generation of key pairs. Item "Continuous_RNG_Test (OSSL_SELF_TEST_TYPE_CRNG)" Continuous random number generator test.

The \*(L"Module_Integrity\*(R" self test is always run at startup. The \*(L"Install_Integrity\*(R" self test is used to check if the self tests have already been run at installation time. If they have already run then the self tests are not run on subsequent startups. All other self test categories are run once at installation time, except for the \*(L"Pairwise_Consistency_Test\*(R".

There is only one instance of the \*(L"Module_Integrity\*(R" and \*(L"Install_Integrity\*(R" self tests. All other self tests may have multiple instances.

The \s-1FIPS\s0 module passes the following descriptions(s) to OSSL_SELF_TEST_onbegin(). Item "HMAC (OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_INTEGRITY_HMAC)" \*(L"Module_Integrity\*(R" and \*(L"Install_Integrity\*(R" use this. Item "RSA (OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_PCT_RSA_PKCS1)"

0 Item "AES_ECB_Decrypt (OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_CIPHER_AES_ECB)" Item "TDES (OSSL_SELF_TEST_DESC_CIPHER_TDES)"

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" Some released versions of OpenSSL do not include a validated \s-1FIPS\s0 provider. To determine which versions have undergone the validation process, please refer to the OpenSSL Downloads page <https://www.openssl.org/source/>. If you require FIPS-approved functionality, it is essential to build your \s-1FIPS\s0 provider using one of the validated versions listed there. Normally, it is possible to utilize a \s-1FIPS\s0 provider constructed from one of the validated versions alongside libcrypto and libssl compiled from any release within the same major release series. This flexibility enables you to address bug fixes and CVEs that fall outside the \s-1FIPS\s0 boundary.
