+ WARNING
+ -------
+
+ This version of OpenSSL is built in a way that supports operation in
+ the so called FIPS mode. Note though that the library as we build it
+ is not FIPS validated and the FIPS mode is present for testing purposes
+ only.
+
+ This version also contains a few differences from the upstream code
+ some of which are:
+ * The FIPS integrity verification check is implemented differently
+ from the upstream FIPS validated OpenSSL module. It verifies
+ HMAC-SHA256 checksum of the whole libcrypto shared library.
+ * The module respects the kernel FIPS flag /proc/sys/crypto/fips and
+ tries to initialize the FIPS mode if it is set to 1 aborting if the
+ FIPS mode could not be initialized. It is also possible to force the
+ OpenSSL library to FIPS mode especially for debugging purposes by
+ setting the environment variable OPENSSL_FORCE_FIPS_MODE.
+ * If the environment variable OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB is set the module
+ will not automatically load the built in compression method ZLIB
+ when initialized. Applications can still explicitely ask for ZLIB
+ compression method.
+ * There is added a support for EAP-FAST through TLS extension. This code
+ is backported from OpenSSL upstream development branch.
