Description
Are there any roadmap plans for SOPS to have a FIPS mode where only validated primitives' are utilized?
If there are no plans for this, is it possible to build SOPs from source to include BoringCrypto?

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First review SOPS's cryptographic dependencies and Go build configuration, then determine whether a FIPS-only mode or BoringCrypto build is technically and operationally supported; done would require an agreed scope and validation requirements.
