The following table helps track the status of System wide crypto policies deployment within Fedora. The current deployment is restricted on SSL/TLS libraries, but the greater idea is to extend them to all applications which involve crypto. If you believe some existing crypto subsystem can benefit of them, contact me or open an issue in [1] for it.
Functionality | Software involved | Tracker bugs | Planned for | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
SSL/TLS | gnutls | https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179209 | F21 | Full policy support in F21. |
openssl | https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179209 | F21 | Partial policy support (ciphersuites only) using custom patch in F21.
There is Upstream bug for incorporation. More complete support planned possibly with a downstream-only approach as upstream does not welcome such changes. | |
