You know when you're expecting something, and you know it's going to be really cool - but it seems so far away that you think that it will never happen? Well, that was the case for me with OpenSSL's FIPS 140-2 certification. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally here. The cert is in place, opening up a world of opportunity for engineers working in the federal space.
Good news for the security community, but probably bad news for us since it slightly outdates the FIPS "selecting a library" portion of our book. :-(
