Hi,

A customer wants to implement FC encryption support in strongswan. The impl=
ementation is handled with the help of a separate `auth_els` module to hand=
le the FC frames. The frames are received and sent through the `bsg` kernel=
 interface.

How does this implementation affect FIPS certification ? Are there any effo=
rts among strongswan developers to implement FC frames in strongswan ?

Can someone please help me understand the feature and certification require=
ments for such a change ?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Madhu Mohan
