How to check Fips key is Valid

Hello,

 

Is there any way to check fips key is valid or matching with certificate. Like openssl md5 validation.

 

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in certificate.crt | openssl md5

 

===

 

openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in privateKey.key | openssl md5

 

how to check fips key is matching or not?

  • Well once its in the FIPS lock box we can just forget it. The only way to validate it to assign it to a profile and have F5 throw an error if it doesn't match. Am curious if there is a hack that is not published, which could defeat the purpose of having FIPS.
