<p dir="auto" style="color: #303030; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">Yes, that's the requirement. Note that for many environments resetting, rebooting or power cycles are not adequate, so that's why I'd like to include a provided service (which essentially reuses function which are already provided).</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #303030; margin: 0 0 16px;" align="initial">From what I discussed with a FIPS specialist, there is the option of doing a deinitializing/initializing cycle of the library. However, I hold the opinion that such an alternative is quite extreme, since it not only executes integrity tests, but a whole bunch of other operations.</p>
<p dir="auto" style="color: #303030; margin: 0;" align="initial">I agree with you that integrity checks after library modules are loaded doesn't look very useful. However, this is still a FIPS requirement, so anyone who plans to get GnuTLS compliant will have to provide a alternative anyway.</p>
