Re: Is dm-crypt LUKS FIPS 140-2 compliant

That is a bit difficult to answer. It seems that 
LUKS is indeed FIPS 140-1 compliant. However it is
not FIPS 140-1 certified (and once a specific implementation
is, it cannot be changed anymore without losing
that certification it seems). 

AFAIK there are efforts underway to get a specific 
implementation (RHEL6) certified. If you go into the
mailing lost archive at
 http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt
and search for "FIPS", you can find more on this question.
