OpenSSL

3.0.9

3.0.12

In addition to the upgrade, the OpenSSL target packages for Android, Linux, and Windows now include the FIPS module configuration file and provider library (the packages were built using the enable-fips option and make install_fips command described in this OpenSSL README file). You can use the fipsmodule.cnf and fips_3_0.so (Android), fips.so (Linux), or fips.dll (Windows) files to validate that Web Integration Service works with the FIPS provider. Keep in mind that, according to openssl.org, the latest FIPS-validated OpenSSL version is 3.0.8.
