Docker FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard)

Hi,

I’m trying to dockerize USP (Unified Streaming Platform) but as it seems FIPS is needed. The binary file mp4split which encrypts video content checks /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enable. This file does not exists and therefor dies.

We have a platform running CoreOS stable 766.3.0. CoreOS also does not seem to have FIPS enabled because /proc/sys/crypto doest not exist. FIPS should be enabled at boot time. CentOS has a special bootflag fips=1 to enable FIPS.

So the real question would be whether CoreOS supports FIPS. I guess that the question might not be on the right place to ask but I thought to give it a try anyway.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Raymond Otto

Hi Raymond,

Did you ever get a clear answer to your question about CoreOS and FIPS?

If you find any other information I would greatly appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.
