NIST-certified crypto module for deployments that need to be FIPS compliant?

Open TerryHowe opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

@TerryHowe Are there docs somewhere for how we can generate a build that uses a NIST-certified crypto module for deployments that need to be FIPS compliant?
Is GoBoring / BoringSSL being setup in some other PR, or is there an alternative solution?

Also looking for this.

According to this blog post, AWS EKS has met FedRAMP High compliance.

But that isn't true, as all of it's Go components have not been compiled with a FIPS valid library.

By comparison, GKE is FIPS validated: https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/fips-140-2-validated/
