i was just blew away by this: "What almost all commentators have missed is that hidden away in the small print (and subsequently confirmed by our specific query) is that if you want to be FIPS 140-2 compliant you MUST use the compromised points."

i even don't have words to comment on this!!!

I tweeted about this exact point a few minutes ago; given the way and what is compromised in what manner, and then work back to what FIPS is, it helps dilute the shock. a bit. but then who's got the funds and resources to re-work the fips process with a new codebase ? Will Red Hat ?
