 Algorithm tests are pre-2011.
 The fipslagtest.pl script wont auto run new algorithm tests such as DSA2.
-Usage of ECDH/DH needs review and adding appropriate self tests.
+Usage of ECDH/DH needs review and whether any KDFs need to be implemented.
 Selftests need updating with larger key sizes in some cases and redundant
 tests pruned.
-SP800-90 DRBG needs more work: health checks, continuous PRNG test,
-entropy gathering, security checks in algorithms, add appropriate RAND method
-for use by rest of OpenSSL.
-No CMAC.

+Some algorithms need to check security strength of PRNG: keygen etc.
 No CCM.
