"OpenSSL can be built to provide FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic services. It is not the OpenSSL application that is validated, but a special software component called the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module. However applications do not use this Object Module directly, but through the regular API of the OpenSSL library"
OpenSSL has 140-3 validation work ongoing, but they seem to have run into some issues: openssl/openssl#23084 "The FIPS lab we were using is no longer accredited. That's going to stall the 140-3 validation I suspect."
Thus it would be greatly appreciated if OTP could upgrade its crypto library with support for FIPS 140-3 as the 140-2 support is, or very soon will be, outdated.

However, 140-2 is quite dated ..

..and 140-3 has been available since March 22, 2019 ..

There exists some 140-3 based validations though, e.g. CiscoSSL with..

https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/4747 for CiscoSSL 7.3, an OpenSSL 1.1.1 derivative.
