Fips compliance

[khaja mohideen]

Hi All,

   Am newbie to gpg encryption. My question is 

Is gpg FIPS compliance. 

 A quick search reveals its not.

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2007-January/030159.html

Where as in this link its states that libgcrypt is FIPS complaint and its need to be put in that mode explicitly.

http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gcrypt/Enabling-FIPS-mode.html


Since  libgcrypt library is being used by gpg tool.  can we say that gpg is  fips complaint.

Regards,
KMS
