+ WARNING
1d20b5f
+ -------
1d20b5f
+
1d20b5f
+ This version of OpenSSL is built in a way that supports operation in
1d20b5f
+ the so called FIPS mode. Note though that the library as we build it
1d20b5f
+ is not FIPS validated and the FIPS mode is present for testing purposes
1d20b5f
+ only.
1d20b5f
+ 
1d20b5f
+ This version also contains a few differences from the upstream code
1d20b5f
+ some of which are:
1d20b5f
+   * The FIPS integrity verification check is implemented differently
1d20b5f
+     from the upstream FIPS validated OpenSSL module. It verifies
1d20b5f
+     HMAC-SHA256 checksum of the whole libcrypto shared library.
1d20b5f
+   * The module respects the kernel FIPS flag /proc/sys/crypto/fips and
1d20b5f
+     tries to initialize the FIPS mode if it is set to 1 aborting if the
1d20b5f
+     FIPS mode could not be initialized. It is also possible to force the
1d20b5f
+     OpenSSL library to FIPS mode especially for debugging purposes by
1d20b5f
+     setting the environment variable OPENSSL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE.
1d20b5f
+   * If the environment variable OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB is set the module
1d20b5f
+     will not automatically load the built in compression method ZLIB
1d20b5f
+     when initialized. Applications can still explicitely ask for ZLIB
1d20b5f
+     compression method.
1d20b5f
+   * There is added a support for EAP-FAST through TLS extension. This code
1d20b5f
+     is backported from OpenSSL upstream development branch.
