For many in enterprises, regulations require the use of FIPS-compliant encryption tools. OpenSSL itself is not FIPS compliant, but does have a module that is (http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/fipsnotes.html). It's possible to hack this into a custom build of Node.js (http://arthur-notes.youramaryllis.com/2014/12/nodejs-fips.html), but it would be nice to have it supported by Node directly (preferably starting with 0.10.x).

Someone had submitted a PR a while back for this: #6380

Is this something that would be considered?
