Is RSA key generation via NSS FIPS approved?
I was looking into FIPS-approved RSA and DSA capabilities of NSS. It
seems everything is covered just fine for DSA. The certificate appears
to cover private and public keygen, signature generation and
verification and hashing. The RSA certificate lists signature
generation/verification and hashing but I don't see anything mentioning
key generation. It would seem stupid to me for keygen to not be
included in a full approved NSS release so I'm probably overlooking
something. I just wanted that warm and fuzzy.
