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.... 

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?    Also, any nuances or strategy changes we may need to be aware of as to OpenScap and Benchmarks for CENTOS Stream?

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. (disa.stig_spt@mail.mil).

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

Robert
