A note of clarification, for the FIPS certification, the hardware that the
software is built on matters so re-rolling it yourself and/or the CentOS
"binary compatible" rolls aren't part of the certified package.
Do they meet the functional requirements....probably.
Do they meet the legal requirements (NIST 800-53, etc...)....no.

Hello all,
A few of items of discussion here:
1. Red Hat validates the shipped crypto modules in RHEL itself. CentOS
Stream is the evolving next release of those same modules. However, because
CentOS Stream is a developer-focused, evolving project, Red Hat will not be
validating the CentOS Stream modules themselves. Any issues, bugs,
functional or security problems discovered in CentOS Stream (including the
crypto modules) would indeed be filed as bugs, and addressed in CentOS and
RHEL.
2. While OpenSCAP and the profiles we build will be included in CentOS
Stream, they are treated as upstream from a support perspective. Our work
flow still starts with the Compliance As Code GIT repository upstream,
through CentOS Stream and into RHEL.
3. To be clear, code modifications and changes required to obtain
certifications such as FIPS and Common Criteria will certainly be reflected
in CentOS Stream (as all changes are, with the exception of embargoed
content). But the certifications themselves will only ever be done on
RHEL itself as that is the stable, long term supported release.

Hi Mark,
Related topic....Â
Do you know if the FIPS Software Modules/Libraries that RedHat certifies
RHEL8.x will be included in CENTOS Stream (similar to existing CENTOS
approach), or will CENTOS Stream have different Crypto Software?  Â
Also, any nuances or strategy changes we may need to be aware of as to
OpenScap and Benchmarks for CENTOS Stream?

Â
Hi all,
An update :
* RHEL 8 Common Criteria is in process and we expect to complete and
announce in EARLY Q1 CY2021
* RHEL 8 FIPS is finishing now! Actually, two of our certs are in hand now
for RHEL 8 with three more in the final stages (in Coordination state). We
expect to push a press release when we have all of the module validation
certificates completed.
Again, expect that we will announce more publicly when we have completed
the certifications for each of these standards.

I cannot really talk much about CC and FIPS, but the STIG is expected to
be published by DISA (based on the draft STIG content on RHEL 8.2 and 8.3)
sometime early next year.
DISA may be able to provide a more concise timeframe. (

Curious on if anyone has any information on the next draft release from
DISA on RHEL 8 STIG benchmarks? The one in May was pretty rough and did
not really match where the current upstream was moving towards.

Thanks in advance
