[bind10-dev] BIND10 in FIPS 140-2 environment

[Adam Tkac]

Hello all,

if I understand BIND10 correctly, botan is currently only one supported
cryptographic library. Although from developer point of view it's absolutely OK,
this decision can have serious consequences for BIND10 in FIPS 140-2 certified
environments (like governments or financial/health-care companies) because botan
is not certified cryptographic library.

May I ask you if there are any plans to port BIND10 to some certified library?
(openssl/nss/libgcrypt). If no, will you accept contribution of patchset which
will add possibility to link BIND10 against openssl, for example? Or you prefer
to stay with botan, even if it can disable deployment of BIND10 in FIPS 140-2
environments?

Thank you in advance for response.

Regards, Adam
