>+		<para>Beginning in Fedora 21, a system-wide crypto policy will be available for users to quickly setup the cryptographic options for their systems.  Users that must meet certain cryptographic standards can make the policy change in two place, <filename>/usr/lib/crypto-profiles/config</filename> and <filename>/etc/crypto-profiles/config</filename> and all ciphers used on the system should meet the policy requirements.</para>
>+		<para>Some of the options include LEVEL-80, LEVEL-112, LEVEL-128, LEVEL-256, or ENISA-LEGACY, ENISA-FUTURE, SUITEB-128, SUITEB-256.  The current proposal only affects SSL/TLS settings, including elliptic curve, signature hash functions, and ciphersuites and key sizes.</para>
