NAME

       openssl-fipsinstall - perform FIPS configuration installation

SYNOPSIS

       openssl fipsinstall [-help] [-in configfilename] [-out configfilename] [-module
       modulefilename] [-provider_name providername] [-section_name sectionname] [-verify]
       [-mac_name macname] [-macopt nm:v] [-noout] [-quiet] [-no_conditional_errors]
       [-no_security_checks] [-self_test_onload] [-corrupt_desc selftest_description]
       [-corrupt_type selftest_type] [-config parent_config]

DESCRIPTION

       This command is used to generate a FIPS module configuration file.  This configuration
       file can be used each time a FIPS module is loaded in order to pass data to the FIPS
       module self tests. The FIPS module always verifies its MAC, but optionally only needs to
       run the KAT's once, at installation.

       The generated configuration file consists of:

       - A MAC of the FIPS module file.
       - A test status indicator.
           This indicates if the Known Answer Self Tests (KAT's) have successfully run.

       - A MAC of the status indicator.
       - A control for conditional self tests errors.
           By default if a continuous test (e.g a key pair test) fails then the FIPS module will
           enter an error state, and no services or cryptographic algorithms will be able to be
           accessed after this point.  The default value of '1' will cause the fips module error
           state to be entered.  If the value is '0' then the module error state will not be
           entered.  Regardless of whether the error state is entered or not, the current
           operation (e.g. key generation) will return an error. The user is responsible for
           retrying the operation if the module error state is not entered.

       - A control to indicate whether run-time security checks are done.
           This indicates if run-time checks related to enforcement of security parameters such
           as minimum security strength of keys and approved curve names are used.  The default
           value of '1' will perform the checks.  If the value is '0' the checks are not
           performed and FIPS compliance must be done by procedures documented in the relevant
           Security Policy.

       This file is described in fips_config(5).

OPTIONS

       -help
           Print a usage message.

       -module filename
           Filename of the FIPS module to perform an integrity check on.  The path provided in
           the filename is used to load the module when it is activated, and this overrides the
           environment variable OPENSSL_MODULES.

       -out configfilename
           Filename to output the configuration data to; the default is standard output.

       -in configfilename
           Input filename to load configuration data from.  Must be used if the -verify option is
           specified.

       -verify
           Verify that the input configuration file contains the correct information.

       -provider_name providername
           Name of the provider inside the configuration file.  The default value is "fips".

       -section_name sectionname
           Name of the section inside the configuration file.  The default value is "fips_sect".

       -mac_name name
           Specifies the name of a supported MAC algorithm which will be used.  The MAC
           mechanisms that are available will depend on the options used when building OpenSSL.
           To see the list of supported MAC's use the command "openssl list -mac-algorithms".
           The default is HMAC.

       -macopt nm:v
           Passes options to the MAC algorithm.  A comprehensive list of controls can be found in
           the EVP_MAC implementation documentation.  Common control strings used for this
           command are:

           key:string
               Specifies the MAC key as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains printable
               characters only).  The string length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC
               algorithm.  A key must be specified for every MAC algorithm.  If no key is
               provided, the default that was specified when OpenSSL was configured is used.

           hexkey:string
               Specifies the MAC key in hexadecimal form (two hex digits per byte).  The key
               length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC algorithm.  A key must be
               specified for every MAC algorithm.  If no key is provided, the default that was
               specified when OpenSSL was configured is used.

           digest:string
               Used by HMAC as an alphanumeric string (use if the key contains printable
               characters only).  The string length must conform to any restrictions of the MAC
               algorithm.  To see the list of supported digests, use the command "openssl list
               -digest-commands".  The default digest is SHA-256.

       -noout
           Disable logging of the self tests.

       -no_conditional_errors
           Configure the module to not enter an error state if a conditional self test fails as
           described above.

       -no_security_checks
           Configure the module to not perform run-time security checks as described above.

       -self_test_onload
           Do not write the two fields related to the "test status indicator" and "MAC status
           indicator" to the output configuration file. Without these fields the self tests KATS
           will run each time the module is loaded. This option could be used for cross
           compiling, since the self tests need to run at least once on each target machine. Once
           the self tests have run on the target machine the user could possibly then add the 2
           fields into the configuration using some other mechanism.

       -quiet
           Do not output pass/fail messages. Implies -noout.

       -corrupt_desc selftest_description, -corrupt_type selftest_type
           The corrupt options can be used to test failure of one or more self tests by name.
           Either option or both may be used to select the tests to corrupt.  Refer to the
           entries for st-desc and st-type in OSSL_PROVIDER-FIPS(7) for values that can be used.

       -config parent_config
           Test that a FIPS provider can be loaded from the specified configuration file.  A
           previous call to this application needs to generate the extra configuration data that
           is included by the base "parent_config" configuration file.  See config(5) for further
           information on how to set up a provider section.  All other options are ignored if
           '-config' is used.

NOTES

       Self tests results are logged by default if the options -quiet and -noout are not
       specified, or if either of the options -corrupt_desc or -corrupt_type are used.  If the
       base configuration file is set up to autoload the fips module, then the fips module will
       be loaded and self tested BEFORE the fipsinstall application has a chance to set up its
       own self test callback. As a result of this the self test output and the options
       -corrupt_desc and -corrupt_type will be ignored.  For normal usage the base configuration
       file should use the default provider when generating the fips configuration file.

EXAMPLES

       Calculate the mac of a FIPS module fips.so and run a FIPS self test for the module, and
       save the fips.cnf configuration file:

        openssl fipsinstall -module ./fips.so -out fips.cnf -provider_name fips

       Verify that the configuration file fips.cnf contains the correct info:

        openssl fipsinstall -module ./fips.so -in fips.cnf  -provider_name fips -verify

       Corrupt any self tests which have the description "SHA1":

        openssl fipsinstall -module ./fips.so -out fips.cnf -provider_name fips \
                -corrupt_desc 'SHA1'

       Validate that the fips module can be loaded from a base configuration file:

        export OPENSSL_CONF_INCLUDE=<path of configuration files>
        export OPENSSL_MODULES=<provider-path>
        openssl fipsinstall -config' 'default.cnf'
