/*! # Using rustls with FIPS-approved cryptography
To use FIPS-approved cryptography with rustls, you should take
these actions:
## 1. Enable the `fips` crate feature for rustls.
Use:
```toml
rustls = { version = "0.23", features = [ "fips" ] }
```
## 2. Use the FIPS `CryptoProvider`
This is [`default_fips_provider()`]:
```rust,ignore
rustls::crypto::default_fips_provider()
.install_default()
.expect("default provider already set elsewhere");
```
This snippet makes use of the process-default provider,
and that assumes all your uses of rustls use that.
See [`CryptoProvider`] documentation for other ways to
specify which `CryptoProvider` to use.
## 3. Validate the FIPS status of your `ClientConfig`/`ServerConfig` at run-time
See [`ClientConfig::fips()`] or [`ServerConfig::fips()`].
You could, for example:
```rust,ignore
# let client_config = unreachable!();
assert!(client_config.fips());
```
But maybe your application has an error handling
or health-check strategy better than panicking.
# aws-lc-rs FIPS approval status
This is covered by [FIPS 140-3 certificate #4816](cert-4816).
See [the security policy](policy-4816) for precisely which
environments and functions this certificate covers.
Later releases of aws-lc-rs may be covered by later certificates,
or be pending certification.
For the most up-to-date details see the latest documentation
for the [`aws-lc-fips-sys`] crate.
