  141. .SH "NAME"
  142. fips_config \- OpenSSL FIPS configuration
  143. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  144. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  145. A separate configuration file, using the OpenSSL \fBconfig\fR\|(5) syntax,
  146. is used to hold information about the \s-1FIPS\s0 module. This includes a digest
  147. of the shared library file, and status about the self-testing.
  148. This data is used automatically by the module itself for two
  149. purposes:
  150. .IP "\- Run the startup \s-1FIPS\s0 self-test known answer tests (\s-1KATS\s0)." 4
  151. .IX Item "- Run the startup FIPS self-test known answer tests (KATS)."
  152. This is normally done once, at installation time, but may also be set up to
  153. run each time the module is used.
  154. .IP "\- Verify the module's checksum." 4
  155. .IX Item "- Verify the module's checksum."
  156. This is done each time the module is used.
  157. .PP
  158. This file is generated by the \fBopenssl\-fipsinstall\fR\|(1) program, and
  159. used internally by the \s-1FIPS\s0 module during its initialization.
  160. .PP
  161. The following options are supported. They should all appear in a section
  162. whose name is identified by the \fBfips\fR option in the \fBproviders\fR
  163. section, as described in \*(L"Provider Configuration Module\*(R" in \fBconfig\fR\|(5).
  164. .IP "\fBactivate\fR" 4
  165. .IX Item "activate"
  166. If present, the module is activated. The value assigned to this name is not
  167. significant.
  168. .IP "\fBinstall-version\fR" 4
  169. .IX Item "install-version"
  170. A version number for the fips install process. Should be 1.
  171. .IP "\fBconditional-errors\fR" 4
  172. .IX Item "conditional-errors"
  173. The \s-1FIPS\s0 module normally enters an internal error mode if any self test fails.
  174. Once this error mode is active, no services or cryptographic algorithms are
  175. accessible from this point on.
  176. Continuous tests are a subset of the self tests (e.g., a key pair test during key
  177. generation, or the \s-1CRNG\s0 output test).
  178. Setting this value to \f(CW0\fR allows the error mode to not be triggered if any
  179. continuous test fails. The default value of \f(CW1\fR will trigger the error mode.
  180. Regardless of the value, the operation (e.g., key generation) that called the
  181. continuous test will return an error code if its continuous test fails. The
  182. operation may then be retried if the error mode has not been triggered.
  183. .IP "\fBsecurity-checks\fR" 4
  184. .IX Item "security-checks"
  185. This indicates if run-time checks related to enforcement of security parameters
  186. such as minimum security strength of keys and approved curve names are used.
  187. A value of '1' will perform the checks, otherwise if the value is '0' the checks
  188. are not performed and \s-1FIPS\s0 compliance must be done by procedures documented in
  189. the relevant Security Policy.
  190. .IP "\fBmodule-mac\fR" 4
  191. .IX Item "module-mac"
  192. The calculated \s-1MAC\s0 of the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider file.
  193. .IP "\fBinstall-status\fR" 4
  194. .IX Item "install-status"
  195. An indicator that the self-tests were successfully run.
  196. This should only be written after the module has
  197. successfully passed its self tests during installation.
  198. If this field is not present, then the self tests will run when the module
  199. loads.
  200. .IP "\fBinstall-mac\fR" 4
  201. .IX Item "install-mac"
  202. A \s-1MAC\s0 of the value of the \fBinstall-status\fR option, to prevent accidental
  203. changes to that value.
  204. It is written-to at the same time as \fBinstall-status\fR is updated.
  205. .PP
  206. For example:
  207. .PP
  208. .Vb 8
  209. \& [fips_sect]
  210. \& activate = 1
  211. \& install\-version = 1

  214. \& module\-mac = 41:D0:FA:C2:5D:41:75:CD:7D:C3:90:55:6F:A4:DC

  218. .SH "NOTES"
  219. .IX Header "NOTES"
  220. When using the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider, it is recommended that the
  221. \&\fBconfig_diagnostics\fR option is enabled to prevent accidental use of
  222. non-FIPS validated algorithms via broken or mistaken configuration.
