OpenSSH and OpenSSL 0.9.7.e with FIPS

[Michael Selvesteen]

Hello All,

I use OpenSSH 3.9 on HP-UX 11vi. I compiled OpenSSL 0.9.7e by enabling
FIPS. I found in the FIPS  document that OpenSSL  now contains the
FIPS 140 specific cryptographic API and algorithm implementations
only; i.e. the API for low level algorithms (RSA, AES, 3DES, DSA,
SHA-1).  Does it have any functional impacts on SSH.

Will all the encryption algorithm used by SSH continue to work when
FIPS is enabled in OpenSSL.

Kindly someone can shed light on this.

Thanks for the help
Michael
