Hi all, now that FRR is making its way to Fedora, perhaps it will eventually make its way to RHEL-8 as well. In both Fedora and RHEL, we are tying to make sure that every package that uses cryptographic algorithms and protocols uses these correctly. Crypto algorithms are not easy to implement and we are trying to encourage developers to use system libraries that have been certified as secure and well implemented. With every crypto algorithm that is implemented from scratch, it brings a potential security risk to the system. In FRR, md5 and sha256 are used as authentication methods for various routing daemons. These are implemented from scratch. This creates an issue for us and it could eventually result in FRR not getting in RHEL-8 at all. I would like to ask you, whether you would be willing to use system libraries to implement these algorithms. I will do all the work and provide patches and pull requests, of course. I believe that getting FRR into RHEL-8 is worth it. Regards, Michal Ruprich
