<p dir="auto">Hi Dmitri,
The milestone that these issues are under was made after discussing with samba, qemu and chrony developers. They use gnutls for TLS but had to use some other library for crypto like CFB8 or xts. Nettle is an option for some of them but it has two shortcomings: 1. It is changing abi and api quite regularly, while at gnutls we are getting better in terms of abi and especially api stability, 2. It is very low level and thus cannot serve as a crypto module in the fips definition (eg it cannot refuse the use of a forbidden algorithm like md5)</p>
