Fix Recommendation

Implement NIST FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to provision digital signatures.

Turn on MySQL FIPS mode and restart mysqld
Edit my.cnf
[mysqld]
ssl_fips_mode=ON

or
[mysqld]
ssl_fips_mode=STRICT

In general, STRICT imposes more restrictions than ON, but MySQL itself has no FIPS-specific code other than to specify to OpenSSL the FIPS mode value. The exact behavior of FIPS mode for ON or STRICT depends on the OpenSSL version.

Check Contents

ALL cryptography is provided via OpenSSL and can be verified in FIPS mode.

Run this command:
SELECT VARIABLE_NAME, VARIABLE_VALUE
FROM performance_schema.global_variables where variable_name = 'ssl_fips_mode';

If the VARIABLE_VALUE does not return "ON" or "STRICT", this is a finding.

In general, STRICT imposes more restrictions than ON, but MySQL itself has no FIPS-specific code other than to specify to OpenSSL the FIPS mode value. The exact behavior of FIPS mode for ON or STRICT depends on the OpenSSL version.
