How to use this library with aws-rust-sdk for fips compliance?

[adnan-shoreline]

Problem:

My application talks to AWS S3 using aws-rust-sdk. I need to make it FIPS compliant. How can I make it use aws-lc-rs and enforce FIPS mode?

Solution:

Any guidance and examples would be appreciated. I didn't find any info regarding this on both the aws-rust-sdk and aws-lc-rs repos.

Or is it sufficient to set environment variable AWS_USE_FIPS_ENDPOINT to true so that the AWS SDK uses the FIPS endpoints which ensures FIPS compliant algorithms are used? Thanks.

Hey @adnan-shoreline, you should create an issue with the aws-sdk-rust with regards to getting this question answered for you. The SDK does not currently use aws-lc-rs as its backing cryptographic provider today.
