fips-detect

Detect whether your system/container and your Golang binary are ready to run in FIPS mode.

How it works

fips-detect does a couple of checks on the running system and the supplied binary to see if everything is in place to correctly run in FIPS mode*, these checks are:

  • Checks if /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled is 1
  • Looks inside /usr/lib[64] and /lib[64] for a (OpenSSL lib) libcrypto.so that is FIPS-capable.
  • Checks if the ELF binary has undefined references to FIPS symbols in libcrypto.so (which means it was compiled with Red Hat's Go toolset or that it's using goboring)

*the correct definitions is actually: if the binary has everything it should to run using a FIPS-capable cryptographic module.

Install

Just go get github.com/acardace/fips-detect.
