Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2009:1281 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE New package: hmaccalc 2009-09-01 09:48:57 UTC

Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2009-03-23 18:46:12 UTC
We need something that uses FIPS libraries to compute HMAC values.  This is one.

Comment 1 Irina Boverman 2009-03-24 14:54:16 UTC
This is a requirement for FIPS-140 validation to allow kernel integrity checking  and self testing. Originally is was filed as a request to coreutils package, but because this utility needs to be very small (it will be installed in the build root directory), it is being repackaged as a separate package.
