- To answer your question, yes, NIST has stated that they do allow non-approved algorithm in parallel with their favored key exchange. At the moment, their official approved process would require processing the nonapproved key share differently from the approved one; however they note that this will change in the next version of NIST SP 800-56C.

Related: 10 Windows Tweaking Myths Debunked FIPS stands for "Federal Information Processing Standards." It's a set of government standards that define how certain things are used in the government--for example, encryption algorithms. FIPS defines certain specific encryption methods that can be used, as well as methods for generating encryption keys...
Microsoft explains what this setting actually does in a blog post entitled "Why We’re Not Recommending “FIPS Mode” Anymore." Microsoft only recommends you use FIPS mode if you have to. For example, if you're using a US government computer, that computer is supposed to have "FIPS mode" enabled according to the government's own regulations. There's n...
You shouldn't enable this setting unless you're using a government computer and are forced to. If you do enable this setting, some consumer applications may actually ask you to disable FIPS mode so they can function properly. If you need to enable or disable FIPS mode--maybe you've seen an error message after you enabled it, you need to test how yo...

Jul 13, 2021 · If a piece of software is running in FIPS mode and using FIPS-certified cryptographic modules, is it permitted to execute any non-FIPS algorithms even if the security of the system is not uniquely dependent on them?
Jun 29, 2023 · FIPS mode changes Acrobat’s default behavior as follows: FIPS-compliant algorithms are always used. Users cannot save self-signed certificates to a P12/PFX file since password security is not permitted in FIPS mode. * However, users can save self-signed digital IDs to the Windows Certificate Store.
Feb 11, 2013 · genrsa writes OpenSSL's 'traditional' format -- the one with PEM label RSA PRIVATE KEY and added headers Proc-Type and DEK-Info. This uses OpenSSL's (really SSLeay's) nonstandard key derivation (EVP_BytesToKey) based on MD5, which is not FIPS approved.
Feb 28, 2017 · If you do the above, you're FIPS compliant and you should enable "Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing". If you don't need to be FIPS compliant, you can use Bitlocker just fine and you don't need to restrict anything related.
Jul 10, 2018 · How can FIPS be used by non-government organizations?
