Is it possible to build 64 bit of openssl fips module .please reply it is
urgent

Thanks
Joshi Chandran

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to load a private key with this function :

/EVP_PKEY *PEM_read_PrivateKey(FILE *fp, EVP_PKEY **x,pem_password_cb *cb, void *u);/

I use it this way :
EVP_PKEY* key = PEM_read_Privatekey(file,NULL,NULL,passwd);
with file a File* containing the correct file, and passwd a char*.
In this case : passwd = NULL;

If I load a private key which need a passphrase, the function ask me the
pass phrase (in konsole). I would like to "remove" this feature.

How can i have a NULL value as return instead of typing the required
pass phrase ?

Thank's in advance,
Have a nice day,
pierre

You didn't give any details on the 64 bit platform(s) of interest. For
the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.1.2 the binary module created
according to the instructions in the Security Policy
(http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp...al-all.htm#918)
is validated. The resulting binary code may run on a 64 bit processor
in a compatibility mode, but in general you won't be able to generate
native 64bit object code without violating the conditions of the
Security Policy.

The pending OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v1.2 will include some 64 bit
platforms. I've been expecting that validation Real Soon Now for weeks.
