 %description hmac
-The package is supposed to provide HMAC hash files for FIPS-140-2
-integrity and enforce FIPS-140-2 compliant operation.
+The package provides HMAC hash files for FIPS-140-2 integrity checks,
+a config file disabling alternative algorithm implementations and a
+_fipscheck helper script preforming the integrity checks before e.g.
+"ipsec start" action is executed, when FIPS-140-2 compliant operation
+mode is enabled.
