Hello,

we are testing a new ASP.NET application with Spire.PDF. And while it works great on various test systems we are having problems on a production server. The production server is configured to use FIPS-only security algorithms which is causing the following exception:

Code: Select all
 Exception type: InvalidOperationException
    Exception message: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
   at System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256Managed..ctor()
   at sprᩘ..ctor()
   at Spire.Pdf.PdfDocumentBase.get_Security()
   at sprᩣ.ᜅ(sprខ A_0)
   at Spire.Pdf.PdfNewDocument.Save(Stream stream)
   at Spire.Pdf.PdfDocumentBase.Save(String fileName, HttpResponse response, HttpReadType type)


We are not using any security features explicitly so I guess it is some internal hashing. Is there any way to make this work in a FIPS-only environment?

Thank you
Sascha

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.
We have noticed the issue you have, which reason is that in our PDF product we have used the algorithms which is incompatible with the FIPS-only security algorithms environment, and we will change our algorithms and make it compatible with FIPS-only. Sorry for inconvenience.
If there are any questions, welcome to get it back to us.
Sincerely,
Gary

Is Spire.Pdf FIPS(140-2) compliant?

Is this still an issue? I am using Spire.pdf version 3.2.52.56040 and I am getting the error "This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms" in our web application when the Spire.pdf functionality is called. Is there a updated version that is FIPS compliant? Or is there a workaround?
