I would like to announce another Fedora Test Day [1], this time focused on general 'System-wide crypto policy' [2] and also recent 'OpenSSH Crypto Policy (Client)' change [3].
The idea of crypto-policies package is to enable the administrator to set a consistent security level for crypto in whole system in one place.
Purpose of this Test Day is to get familiar with the whole mechanism, test interoperability of particular policies with the real world systems and ideally also with specific crypto-related applications you develop (e.g., some client/server app using TLS/SSL protocol).
The Test Day page [1] and the test cases are still being revised and tweaked as I write this, but as the week goes along, all the instructions you need to run the tests will be present there. As always, the event will be in #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC. If you don’t know how to use IRC, you can read these instructions [4], or just use WebIRC [5].
