OpenSSL::OPENSSL_FIPS
causes confusion as the doc states it returns a boolean based on if FIPS is 'enabled' which isn't true. It is dependent on whether the openssl installed was built with FOM (fips object module). If it was then it will always returns true (even whenfips_mode = false
), thus it is more accurate to say FIPS-capable.Adding
OpenSSL.fips_mode
to return whether or not fips_mode is currently set. This allows for better handling around fips mode.
