there are no details there regarding what plans you have for FIPS
compliance.

Can you please state

- exactly what bits you will have certified (if any) (specific
libraries, entire client side package, kdc, entire server side package,
...)
- what changes will be made to those bits in order to be compliant

It is work in progress.  Please, see Crypto Modularity proj @

Just wondering, has there been any work to make a FIPS-validated MIT
Kerberos client implementation?

I'm guessing that there is some built-in crypto in MIT Kerberos, or do
I have that wrong?  If the crypto is not built-into MIT Kerberos
client, is it implemented by OpenSSL or some other cryptography
library?
