Hi all,


I am using open source version of vault. Vault encrypts data (secrets) by using Golang's crypto and x/crypto libraries that are part of the golang language. Is there a way to configure
vault to use OS provided openssl libraries (FIPS validated) to encrypt/decrypt secrets?


Thanks,
Anand

The seal/unseal functionality and encryption routines are not currently modular and cannot be replaced by a different cryptographic library.

Vault Enterprise has a feature called "Seal Wrap" which supports using an external HSM that is FIPS 140-2 certified; see https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/operations/ops-seal-wrap  

best,
Mark
