+# MinIO FIPS Builds
+
+MinIO creates FIPS builds using a patched version of the Go compiler (that uses BoringCrypto, from BoringSSL, which is [FIPS 140-2 validated](https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/security-policies/140sp2964.pdf)) published by the Golang Team [here](https://github.com/golang/go/tree/dev.boringcrypto/misc/boring).
+
+MinIO FIPS executables are available at http://dl.min.io - they are only published for `linux-amd64` architecture as binary files with the suffix `.fips`. We also publish corresponding container images to our official image repositories.
+
+We are not making any statements or representations about the suitability of this code or build in relation to the FIPS 140-2 standard. Interested users will have to evaluate for themselves whether this is useful for their own purposes.
