FIPS Integrity Check Validation Failed During SSH Session

Question

I recently turned on the FIPS module under CentOS 6 (minimum installation).

The module confirmed the work :

cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled gives 1

openssl md5 somefile(failure) and openssl sha1 somefile(successful).

openssl version gives OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

When I try to pass ssh to a field that I connect to daily, now I see a notification that says:

FIPS Integrity Check Error

The session continues and I can connect to the remote server. Is the connection secure?

Answer 1

Yes.

OpenSSL is known as FIPS Capable. In FIPS Capable, the library version can use proven cryptography.
