Wickr FIPS Object Module for OpenSSL
Caveat: When built, installed, protected and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and as specified in the provided Security Policy. Appendix A of the provided Security Policy specifies the actual distribution tar file containing the source code of this module. There shall be no additions, deletions or alterations to the tar file contents as used during module build. The distribution tar file shall be verified as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Installation and protection shall be completed as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Initialization shall be invoked as per Section 4 of the provided Security Policy. Any deviation from specified verification, protection, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2398. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
