Hi,
How can run drbg test vectors provided by NIST to validate the response of
the random output for the various algorithms on NSS.

Subject: RandomNumberGenerator that is FIPS2complaint
HI,
I am using the NSS Cryptographic Module document to use the random number
generator for FIPS2 random number. If I use the FC_GetFunctionList fpr
PK11_GenerateRandom and initialise with slotid as 0, then is the Mode set to
FIPS level2 ?
NSS Cryptographic Module
Version 3.11.4
FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy
Level 1 and 2 Validation
Thanks for your help

Subject: RandomNumberGenerator that is FIPS2complaint
Hi,
We require a random number generator that's FIPS2 complaint on RedHat Linux
5.6.
In the linux rpm for NSS nss-3.12.8-1.el5. I find random generation api's in
pkcs11f.h.
If I use them can I be sure that the random data generated is FIPS2 complaint?
What is the api to set NSS in FIPS Mode?
pk11pub.h:SECStatus PK11_GenerateRandom(unsigned char *data,int len);
