+=head1 NAME
+
+fips_module - OpenSSL fips module guide
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+See the individual manual pages for details.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This guide details different ways that OpenSSL can be used in conjunction
+with the FIPS module. Which is the correct approach to use will depend on your
+own specific circumstances and what you are attempting to achieve.
+
+Note that the old functions 'FIPS_mode()` and `FIPS_mode_set()` are no longer
+present so you must remove them from your application if you use them.
+
+Applications written to use the OpenSSL 3.0 FIPS module should not use any
+legacy APIs or features that avoid the FIPS module. Specifically this includes:
+
+- Low level cryptographic APIs (use the high level APIs, such as EVP, instead)
+- Engines
+- Any functions that create or modify custom "METHODS" (for example
+`EVP_MD_meth_new`, `EVP_CIPHER_meth_new`, `EVP_PKEY_meth_new`, `RSA_meth_new`,
+`EC_KEY_METHOD_new`, etc.)
+
+All of the above APIs are deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 - so a simple rule is to
+avoid using all deprecated functions. See L<migration_guide(7)> for a list of
+deprecated functions.
+
+=head2 Making all applications use the FIPS module by default
+
+One simple approach is to cause all applications that are using OpenSSL to only
+use the FIPS module for cryptographic algorithms by default.
+
+This approach can be done purely via configuration. As long as applications are
+built and linked against OpenSSL 3.0 and do not override the loading of the
+default config file or its settings then they can automatically start using the
+FIPS module without the need for any further code changes.
+
+To do this the default OpenSSL config file will have to be modified. The
+location of this config file will depend on the platform, and any options that
+were given during the build process. You can check the location of the config
+file by running this command:
+
+ $ openssl version -d
+ OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/local/ssl"
+
+Caution: Many Operating Systems install OpenSSL by default. It is a common error
+to not have the correct version of OpenSSL in your $PATH. Check that you are
+running an OpenSSL 3.0 version like this:
+
+ $ openssl version -v
+ OpenSSL 3.0.0-dev xx XXX xxxx (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.0-dev xx XXX xxxx)
+
+The OPENSSLDIR value above gives the directory name for where the default config
+file is stored. So in this case the default config file will be called
+`/usr/local/ssl/openssl.cnf`
+
+Edit the config file to add the following lines near the beginning:
+
+ openssl_conf = openssl_init
+
+ .include /usr/local/ssl/fipsmodule.cnf
+
+ [openssl_init]
+ providers = provider_sect
+
+ [provider_sect]
+ fips = fips_sect
+ base = base_sect
+
+ [base_sect]
+ activate = 1
+
+Obviously the include file location above should match the path and name of the
+FIPS module config file that you installed earlier.
+See L<https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/README-FIPS.md>.
+
+Any applications that use OpenSSL 3.0 and are started after these changes are
+made will start using only the FIPS module unless those applications take
+explicit steps to avoid this default behaviour. Note that this configuration
+also activates the "base" provider. The base provider does not include any
+cryptographic algorithms (and therefore does not impact the validation status of
+any cryptographic operations), but does include other supporting algorithms that
+may be required. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the FIPS module.
+
+This approach has the primary advantage that it is simple, and no code changes
+are required in applications in order to benefit from the FIPS module. There are
+some disadvantages to this approach:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item You may not want all applications to use the FIPS module.
+
+It may be the case that some applications should and some should not use the
+FIPS module.
+
+=item If applications take explicit steps to not load the default config file or
+set different settings.
+
+This method will not work for these cases.
+
+=item The algorithms available in the FIPS module are a subset of the algorithms
+that are available in the default OpenSSL Provider.
+
+If any applications attempt to use any algorithms that are not present,
+then they will fail.
+
+-=item Usage of certain deprecated APIs avoids the use of the FIPS module.
+
+If any applications use those APIs then the FIPS module will not be used.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Selectively making applications use the FIPS module by default
+
+A variation on the above approach is to do the same thing on an individual
+application basis. The default OpenSSL config file depends on the compiled in
+value for OPENSSLDIR as described in the section above. However it is also
+possible to override the config file to be used via the `OPENSSL_CONF`
+environment variable. For example the following, on Unix, will cause the
+application to be executed with a non-standard config file location:
+
+ $ OPENSSL_CONF=/my/nondefault/openssl.cnf myapplication
+
+Using this mechanism you can control which config file is loaded (and hence
+whether the FIPS module is loaded) on an application by application basis.
+
+This removes the disadvantage listed above that you may not want all
+applications to use the FIPS module. All the other advantages and disadvantages
+still apply.
+
+=head2 Programmatically loading the FIPS module (default library context)
+
+Applications may choose to load the FIPS provider explicitly rather than relying
+on config to do this. The config file is still necessary in order to hold the
+FIPS module config data (such as its self test status and integrity data). But
+in this case we do not automatically activate the FIPS provider via that config
+file.
+
+To do things this way configure as per
+L</Making all applications use the FIPS module by default> above, but edit the
+`fipsmodule.cnf` file to remove or comment out the line which says
+`activate = 1` (note that setting this value to 0 is I<not> sufficient).
+This means all the required config information will be available to load the
+FIPS module, but it is not automatically loaded when the application starts. The
+FIPS provider can then be loaded programmatically like this:
+
+ #include <openssl/provider.h>
+
+ int main(void)
+ {
+ OSSL_PROVIDER *fips;
+ OSSL_PROVIDER *base;
+
+ fips = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "fips");
+ if (fips == NULL) {
+ printf("Failed to load FIPS provider\n");
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ }
+ base = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "base");
+ if (base == NULL) {
+ OSSL_PROVIDER_unload(fips);
+ printf("Failed to load base provider\n");
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ }
+
+ /* Rest of application */
+
+ OSSL_PROVIDER_unload(base);
+ OSSL_PROVIDER_unload(fips);
+ exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
+ }
+
+Note that this should be one of the first things that you do in your
+application. If any OpenSSL functions get called that require the use of
+cryptographic functions before this occurs then, if no provider has yet been
+loaded, then the default provider will be automatically loaded. If you then
+later explicitly load the FIPS provider then you will have both the FIPS and the
+default provider loaded at the same time. It is undefined which implementation
+of an algorithm will be used if multiple implementations are available and you
+have not explicitly specified via a property query (see below) which one should
+be used.
+
+Also note that in this example we have additionally loaded the "base" provider.
+This loads a sub-set of algorithms that are also available in the default
+provider - specifically non cryptographic ones which may be used in conjunction
+with the FIPS provider. For example this contains algorithms for encoding and
+decoding keys. If you decide not to load the default provider then you
+will usually want to load the base provider instead.
+
+In this example we are using the "default" library context. OpenSSL functions
+operate within the scope of a library context. If no library context is
+explicitly specified then the default library context is used. For further
+details about library contexts see the L<OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)> man page.
+
+=head2 Loading the FIPS module at the same time as other providers
+
+It is possible to have the FIPS provider and other providers (such as the
+default provider) all loaded at the same time into the same library context. You
+can use a property query string during algorithm fetches to specify which
+implementation you would like to use.
+
+For example to fetch an implementation of SHA256 which conforms to FIPS
+standards you can specify the property query `fips=yes` like this:
+
+ EVP_MD *sha256;
+
+ sha256 = EVP_MD_fetch(NULL, "SHA2-256", "fips=yes");
+
+If no property query is specified, or more than one implementation matches the
+property query then it is undefined which implementation of a particular
+algorithm will be returned.
+
+This example shows an explicit request for an implementation of SHA256 from the
+default provider:
+
+ EVP_MD *sha256;
+
+ sha256 = EVP_MD_fetch(NULL, "SHA2-256", "provider=default");
+
+It is also possible to set a default property query string. The following
+example sets the default property query of "fips=yes" for all fetches within the
+default library context:
+
+ EVP_set_default_properties(NULL, "fips=yes");
+
+If a fetch function has both an explicit property query specified, and a
+default property query is defined then the two queries are merged together and
+both apply. The local property query overrides the default properties if the
+same property name is specified in both.
+
+There are two important built-in properties that you should be aware of:
+
+The "provider" property enables you to specify which provider you want an
+implementation to be fetched from, e.g. `provider=default` or `provider=fips`.
+All algorithms implemented in a provider have this property set on them.
+
+There is also the `fips` property. All FIPS algorithms match against the
+property query `fips=yes`. There are also some non-cryptographic algorithms
+available in the default and base providers that also have the `fips=yes`
+property defined for them. These are the encoder and decoder algorithms that
+can (for example) be used to write out a key generated in the FIPS provider to a
+file. The encoder and decoder algorithms are not in the FIPS module itself but
+are allowed to be used in conjunction with the FIPS algorithms.
+
+It is possible to specify default properties within a config file. For example
+the following config file automatically loads the default and fips providers and
+sets the default property value to be `fips=yes`. Note that this config file
+does not load the "base" provider. All supporting algorithms that are in "base"
+are also in "default", so it is unnecessary in this case:
+
+ openssl_conf = openssl_init
+
+ .include /usr/local/ssl/fipsmodule.cnf
+
+ [openssl_init]
+ providers = provider_sect
+ alg_section = algorithm_sect
+
+ [provider_sect]
+ fips = fips_sect
+ default = default_sect
+
+ [default_sect]
+ activate = 1
+
+ [algorithm_sect]
+ default_properties = fips=yes
+
+=head2 Programmatically loading the FIPS module (nondefault library context)
+
+In addition to using properties to separate usage of the FIPS module from other
+usages this can also be achieved using library contexts. In this example we
+create two library contexts. In one we assume the existence of a config file
+called "openssl-fips.cnf" that automatically loads and configures the FIPS and
+base providers. The other library context will just use the default provider.
+
+ OSSL_LIB_CTX *fips_libctx, *nonfips_libctx;
+ OSSL_PROVIDER *defctxnull = NULL;
+ EVP_MD *fipssha256 = NULL, *nonfipssha256 = NULL;
+ int ret = 1;
+
+ /*
+ * Create two nondefault library contexts. One for fips usage and one for
+ * non-fips usage
+ */
+ fips_libctx = OSSL_LIB_CTX_new();
+ nonfips_libctx = OSSL_LIB_CTX_new();
+ if (fips_libctx == NULL || nonfips_libctx == NULL)
+ goto err;
+
+ /* Prevent anything from using the default library context */
+ defctxnull = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "null");
+
+ /*
+ * Load config file for the FIPS library context. We assume that this
+ * config file will automatically activate the FIPS and base providers so we
+ * don't need to explicitly load them here.
+ */
+ if (!OSSL_LIB_CTX_load_config(fips_libctx, "openssl-fips.cnf"))
+ goto err;
+
+ /*
+ * We don't need to do anything special to load the default provider into
+ * nonfips_libctx. This happens automatically if no other providers are
+ * loaded. Because we don't call OSSL_LIB_CTX_load_config() explicitly for
+ * nonfips_libctx it will just use the default config file.
+ */
+
+ /* As an example get some digests */
+
+ /* Get a FIPS validated digest */
+ fipssha256 = EVP_MD_fetch(fips_libctx, "SHA2-256", NULL);
+ if (fipssha256 == NULL)
+ goto err;
+
+ /* Get a non-FIPS validated digest */
+ nonfipssha256 = EVP_MD_fetch(nonfips_libctx, "SHA2-256", NULL);
+ if (nonfipssha256 == NULL)
+ goto err;
+
+ /* Use the digests */
+
+ printf("Success\n");
+ ret = 0;
+
+ err:
+ EVP_MD_free(fipssha256);
+ EVP_MD_free(nonfipssha256);
+ OSSL_LIB_CTX_free(fips_libctx);
+ OSSL_LIB_CTX_free(nonfips_libctx);
+ OSSL_PROVIDER_unload(defctxnull);
+
+ return ret;
+
+Note that we have made use of the special "null" provider here which we load
+into the default library context. We could have chosen to use the default
+library context for FIPS usage, and just create one additional library context
+for other usages - or vice versa. However if code has not been converted to use
+library contexts then the default library context will be automatically used.
+This could be the case for your own existing applications as well as certain
+parts of OpenSSL itself. Not all parts of OpenSSL are library context aware. If
+this happens then you could "accidentally" use the wrong library context for a
+particular operation. To be sure this doesn't happen you can load the "null"
+provider into the default library context. Because a provider has been
+explicitly loaded, the default provider will not automatically load. This means
+code using the default context by accident will fail because no algorithms will
+be available.
+
+See L<migration_guide(7)/Library Context> for additional information about the
+Library Context.
+
+=head2 Using Encoders and Decoders with the FIPS module
+
+Encoders and decoders are used to read and write keys or parameters from or to
+some external format (for example a PEM file). If your application generates
+keys or parameters that then need to be written into PEM or DER format
+then it is likely that you will need to use an encoder to do this. Similarly
+you need a decoder to read previously saved keys and parameters. In most cases
+this will be invisible to you if you are using APIs that existed in
+OpenSSL 1.1.1 or earlier such as L<i2d_PrivateKey(3)>. However the appropriate
+encoder/decoder will need to be available in the library context associated with
+the key or parameter object. The built-in OpenSSL encoders and decoders are
+implemented in both the default and base providers and are not in the FIPS
+module boundary. However since they are not cryptographic algorithms themselves
+it is still possible to use them in conjunction with the FIPS module, and
+therefore these encoders/decoders have the "fips=yes" property against them.
+You should ensure that either the default or base provider is loaded into the
+library context in this case.
+
+=head2 Using the FIPS module in SSL/TLS
+
+Writing an application that uses libssl in conjunction with the FIPS module is
+much the same as writing a normal libssl application. If you are using global
+properties and the default library context to specify usage of FIPS validated
+algorithms then this will happen automatically for all cryptographic algorithms
+in libssl. If you are using a nondefault library context to load the FIPS
+provider then you can supply this to libssl using the function
+L<SSL_CTX_new_ex(3)>. This works as a drop in replacement for the function
+L<SSL_CTX_new(3)> except it provides you with the capability to specify the
+library context to be used. You can also use the same function to specify
+libssl specific properties to use.
+
+In this first example we create two SSL_CTX objects using two different library
+contexts.
+
+ /*
+ * We assume that a nondefault library context with the FIPS provider
+ * loaded has been created called fips_libctx.
+ /
+ SSL_CTX *fips_ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new_ex(fips_libctx, NULL, TLS_method());
+ /*
+ * We assume that a nondefault library context with the default provider
+ * loaded has been created called non_fips_libctx.
+ */
+ SSL_CTX *non_fips_ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new_ex(non_fips_libctx, NULL,
+ TLS_method());
+
+In this second example we create two SSL_CTX objects using different properties
+to specify FIPS usage:
+
+ /*
+ * The "fips=yes" property includes all FIPS approved algorithms as well as
+ * encoders from the default provider that are allowed to be used. The NULL
+ * below indicates that we are using the default library context.
+ */
+ SSL_CTX *fips_ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new_ex(NULL, "fips=yes", TLS_method());
+ /*
+ * The "provider!=fips" property allows algorithms from any provider except
+ * the FIPS provider
+ */
+ SSL_CTX *non_fips_ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new_ex(NULL, "provider!=fips",
+ TLS_method());
+
+=head2 Confirming that an algorithm is being provided by the FIPS module
+
+A chain of links needs to be followed to go from an algorithm instance to the
+provider that implements it. The process is similar for all algorithms. Here the
+example of a digest is used.
+
+To go from an B<EVP_MD_CTX> to an B<EVP_MD>, use L<EVP_MD_CTX_md(3)> .
+To go from the B<EVP_MD> to its B<OSSL_PROVIDER>, use L<EVP_MD_provider(3)>.
+To extract the name from the B<OSSL_PROVIDER>, use L<OSSL_PROVIDER_name(3)>.

+=head1 NAME
+
+migration_guide - OpenSSL migration guide
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+See the individual manual pages for details.
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This guide details the changes required to migrate to new versions of OpenSSL.
+Currently this covers OpenSSL 3.0. For earlier versions refer to
+L<https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/CHANGES.md>.
+For an overview of some of the key concepts introduced in OpenSSL 3.0 see
+L<crypto(7)>.
+
+=head1 OPENSSL 3_0
+
+=head2 Main Changes from OpenSSL 1.1.1
+
+=head3 Major Release
+
+OpenSSL 3.0 is a major release and consequently any application that currently
+uses an older version of OpenSSL will at the very least need to be recompiled in
+order to work with the new version. It is the intention that the large majority
+of applications will work unchanged with OpenSSL 3.0 if those applications
+previously worked with OpenSSL 1.1.1. However this is not guaranteed and some
+changes may be required in some cases. Changes may also be required if
+applications need to take advantage of some of the new features available in
+OpenSSL 3.0 such as the availability of the FIPS module.
+
+=head3 License Change
+
+In previous versions, OpenSSL was licensed under the L<dual OpenSSL and SSLeay
+licenses|https://www.openssl.org/source/license-openssl-ssleay.txt>
+(both licenses apply). From OpenSSL 3.0 this is replaced by the
+L<Apache License v2|https://www.openssl.org/source/apache-license-2.0.txt>.
+
+=head3 Providers and FIPS support
+
+One of the key changes from OpenSSL 1.1.1 is the introduction of the Provider
+concept. Providers collect together and make available algorithm implementations.
+With OpenSSL 3.0 it is possible to specify, either programmatically or via a
+config file, which providers you want to use for any given application.
+OpenSSL 3.0 comes with 5 different providers as standard. Over time third
+parties may distribute additional providers that can be plugged into OpenSSL.
+All algorithm implementations available via providers are accessed through the
+"high level" APIs (for example those functions prefixed with "EVP"). They cannot
+be accessed using the L</Low Level APIs>.
+One of the standard providers available is the FIPS provider. This makes
+available FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
+The FIPS provider is disabled by default and needs to be enabled explicitly
+at configuration time using the `enable-fips` option. If it is enabled,
+the FIPS provider gets built and installed in addition to the other standard
+providers. No separate installation procedure is necessary.
+There is however a dedicated `install_fips` make target, which serves the
+special purpose of installing only the FIPS provider into an existing
+OpenSSL installation.
+
+See also L</Legacy Algorithms> for information on the legacy provider.
+
+See also L</Completing the installation of the FIPS Module> and
+L</Using the FIPS Module in applications>.
+
+=head3 Low Level APIs
+
+OpenSSL has historically provided two sets of APIs for invoking cryptographic
+algorithms: the "high level" APIs (such as the "EVP" APIs) and the "low level"
+APIs. The high level APIs are typically designed to work across all algorithm
+types. The "low level" APIs are targeted at a specific algorithm implementation.
+For example, the EVP APIs provide the functions L<EVP_EncryptInit_ex(3)>,
+L<EVP_EncryptUpdate(3)> and L<EVP_EncryptFinal(3)> to perform symmetric
+encryption. Those functions can be used with the algorithms AES, CHACHA, 3DES etc.
+On the other hand, to do AES encryption using the low level APIs you would have
+to call AES specific functions such as L<AES_set_encrypt_key(3)>,
+L<AES_encrypt(3)>, and so on. The functions for 3DES are different.
+Use of the low level APIs has been informally discouraged by the OpenSSL
+development team for a long time. However in OpenSSL 3.0 this is made more
+formal. All such low level APIs have been deprecated. You may still use them in
+your applications, but you may start to see deprecation warnings during
+compilation (dependent on compiler support for this). Deprecated APIs may be
+removed from future versions of OpenSSL so you are strongly encouraged to update
+your code to use the high level APIs instead.
+
+This is described in more detail in L</Deprecation of Low Level Functions>
+
+=head3 Legacy Algorithms
+
+Some cryptographic algorithms such as B<MD2> and B<DES> that were available via
+the EVP APIs are now considered legacy and their use is strongly discouraged.
+These legacy EVP algorithms are still available in OpenSSL 3.0 but not by
+default. If you want to use them then you must load the legacy provider.
+This can be as simple as a config file change, or can be done programmatically.
+See L<OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy(7)> for a complete list of algorithms.
+Applications using the EVP APIs to access these algorithms should instead use
+more modern algorithms. If that is not possible then these applications
+should ensure that the legacy provider has been loaded. This can be achieved
+either programmatically or via configuration. See L<crypto(7)> man page for
+more information about providers.
+
+=head3 Engines and "METHOD" APIs
+
+The refactoring to support Providers conflicts internally with the APIs used to
+support engines, including the ENGINE API and any function that creates or
+modifies custom "METHODS" (for example L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)>,
+L<EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3)>, L<EVP_PKEY_meth_new(3)>, L<RSA_meth_new(3)>,
+L<EC_KEY_METHOD_new(3)>, etc.). These functions are being deprecated in
+OpenSSL 3.0, and users of these APIs should know that their use can likely
+bypass provider selection and configuration, with unintended consequences.
+This is particularly relevant for applications written to use the OpenSSL 3.0
+FIPS module, as detailed below. Authors and maintainers of external engines are
+strongly encouraged to refactor their code transforming engines into providers
+using the new Provider API and avoiding deprecated methods.
+
+=head3 Versioning Scheme
+
+The OpenSSL versioning scheme has changed with the OpenSSL 3.0 release. The new
+versioning scheme has this format:
+
+MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+
+For OpenSSL 1.1.1 and below, different patch levels were indicated by a letter
+at the end of the release version number. This will no longer be used and
+instead the patch level is indicated by the final number in the version. A
+change in the second (MINOR) number indicates that new features may have been
+added. OpenSSL versions with the same major number are API and ABI compatible.
+If the major number changes then API and ABI compatibility is not guaranteed.
+
+=head3 Other major new features
+
+=head4 Certificate Management Protocol (CMP, RFC 4210)
+
+This also covers CRMF (RFC 4211) and HTTP transfer (RFC 6712)
+See L<openssl-cmp(1)> and L<OSSL_CMP_exec_certreq(3)> as starting points.
+
+=head4 HTTP(S) client
+
+A proper HTTP(S) client that supports GET and POST, redirection, plain and
+ASN.1-encoded contents, proxies, and timeouts.
+
+=head4 Key Derivation Function API (EVP_KDF)
+
+This simplifies the process of adding new KDF and PRF implementations.
+
+Previously KDF algorithms had been shoe-horned into using the EVP_PKEY object
+which was not a logical mapping.
+Existing applications that use KDF algorithms using EVP_PKEY
+(scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF) may be slower as they use an EVP_KDF bridge
+internally.
+All new applications should use the new L<EVP_KDF(3)> interface.
+See also L<OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)/Key Derivation Function (KDF)> and
+L<OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7)/Key Derivation Function (KDF)>.
+
+=head4 Message Authentication Code API (EVP_MAC)
+
+This simplifies the process of adding MAC implementations.
+
+This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge, to facilitate the continued
+use of MACs through raw private keys in functionality such as
+L<EVP_DigestSign(3)> and L<EVP_DigestVerify(3)>.
+
+All new applications should use the new L<EVP_MAC(3)> interface.
+See also L<OSSL_PROVIDER-default(7)/Message Authentication Code (MAC)>
+and L<OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7)/Message Authentication Code (MAC)>.
+
+=head4 Support for Linux Kernel TLS
+
+In order to use KTLS, support for it must be compiled in using the 'enable-ktls'
+compile time option. It must also be enabled at run time using the
+B<SSL_OP_ENABLE_KTLS> option.
