Doc Text:
.GnuTLS requires EMS with TLS 1.2 in FIPS mode To comply with the FIPS-140-3 standard, GnuTLS servers and clients require the Extended Master Secret (EMS) extension (RFC 7627) for all TLS 1.2 connections negotiated in FIPS mode. If your scenario requires preserving compatibility with older servers and clients that do not support EMS and you cannot use TLS 1.3, you can apply the `NO-ENFORCE-EMS` system-wide cryptographic subpolicy: ---- # update-crypto-policies --set FIPS:NO-ENFORCE-EMS ---- WARNING: If you allow TLS 1.2 connections without EMS, your system no longer meets the FIPS-140-3 requirements.

Description Alicja Kario 2023-01-03 17:10:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
FIPS 140-3 IG requires that only EMS KDF is in use for TLS 1.2 with modules validated after May 2023.

GnuTLS should have a way to require use of EMS when in FIPS mode.
