{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"FIPS Compliance","articleBody":"**Describe the bug**\r\nI need to modify this tool to be FIPS compliant and I would love to contribute this back to the community. How would the contributors prefer I contribute to a FIPS compliant version of this app? Pull request, new branch, or create my own fork?\r\n\r\n**To Reproduce**\r\nSteps to reproduce the behavior:\r\n1. This library depends on the hashlib library and uses md5 as an available has. However, in a FIPS compliant environment, md5 is not available. This results in errors in other apps that depend on this library if this library does not load properly.\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior**\r\nEliminate failures associated with running in FIPS compliant environments.\r\n\r\n**Screenshots**\r\nN/A\r\n\r\n**Desktop (please complete the following information):**\r\n - OS: RHEL 8\r\n - In this context I am running in a Splunk SOAR App. (DomainTool Iris Investigate)\r\n\r\n**Additional context**\r\nThe Iris Investigate app is failing to load because it is not FIPS compliant. Based on what I could see it appears to come down to the fact that this library is packaged within that app and depends on a non-FIPS compliant algorithm (MD5). I would like to contribute a FIPS compliant version back to the community, but would like to follow the guidance from the contributors for this project before doing so.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Hack3rDan","@type":"Person","name":"Hack3rDan"},"datePublished":"2024-08-01T12:49:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/134/python_api/issues/134"}
