meta-openssl102-fips
====================
This layer provides a reference implementation of OpenSSL with the OpenSSL
FIPS Object Module. The user is responsible for precompiling the necessary
openssl-fips binary objects using the steps described in the
recipes-connectivity/openssl/openssl-fips/README file.
The items must be constructed according to the requirements of the security
policy and associated user guide. See:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/SecurityPolicy-2.0.16.pdf
https://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-2.0.pdf
Additionally you must provide your own copy of
openssl-fips-2.0.16.tar.gz
This file must be acquired following the steps listed in section 4.1 of
the UserGuide-2.0.pdf. See both section 4.1 and section 6.6 for more
information on the "trusted path" and "secure installation" requirements.
See README.build for information on building the components, and making them
available for re-use.
Note: According to information from NIST, FIPS-140-2 Validation submissions
will end September 22, 2021. FIPS-140-2 Certifications will end September
22, 2026. Due to this, it is expected updates will be minimal after 2021 and
most likely the layer will be EOL after 2026.
Dependencies
------------
This layer depends on OpenEmbedded-core (meta) layer and meta-openssl102
layer.
Usage
-----
You must provide your own certified OpenSSL Object Modules to be FIPS-140-2
compliant. See the README.build file for instructions on how to build them.
Be aware, building them per the instructions does not mean they are certified
you must consult the User Guide and possibly a certification lab.
Once the modules are placed somewhere, you will need to instruct the system
to enable OpenSSL FIPS mode, as well as tell the system where your binaries
are located.
In your local.conf file set:
OPENSSL_FIPS_ENABLED = '1'
OPENSSL_FIPS_PREBUILT = 'path to prebuild binaries'
or if you have the wr-template layer, add to WRTEMPLATE feature/openssl-fips:
WRTEMPLATE = "feature/openssl-fips"
or use the template without wr-template, add to your local.conf:
include <path_to_layer>/templates/feature/openssl-fips
Note, if you use the template approach, you may still need to set the
OPENSSL_FIPS_PREBUILT in your local.conf.
Maintenance
-----------
Please see the MAINTAINERS file for information on contacting the maintainers
of this layer, as well as instructions for submitting patches.
