The benefits of native FIPS support in Go 1.24
The introduction of the FIPS Cryptographic Module in Go 1.24 marks a watershed moment for the language’s security capabilities. This new module provides FIPS 140-3-compliant implementations of cryptographic algorithms, seamlessly integrated into the standard library. What makes this particularly noteworthy is its transparent implementation. Existing Go applications can leverage FIPS-compliant cryptography without requiring code changes.
Build-time configuration through the GOFIPS140 environment variable, allowing developers to select specific versions of the Go Cryptographic Module.
GOFIPS140=true go build
Runtime control via the fips140 GODEBUG setting, enabling dynamic FIPS mode activation.
