fips-enforcement-spans-install-runtime-and-architecture

Status: IN

FIPS compliance in OpenShift is a cross-cutting constraint spanning three dimensions: install-time (must install from a FIPS-enabled RHEL machine), runtime (CRI-O propagates FIPS awareness to containers, SSH keys restricted to RSA/ECDSA), and architecture (validated only on x86_64, ppc64le, s390x — not ARM)

Justifications

depth-1 — four base FIPS beliefs group into a three-dimensional enforcement model showing FIPS is not a single toggle but a pervasive constraint
