+FIPS Build Configurations
+-------------------------
+
+The solution includes FIPS build configurations to support building wolfSSH
+with the FIPS build of wolfSSL. These configurations are designed to work
+with wolfSSL FIPS builds that are located in the `IDE\WIN10` directory
+structure.
+
+The following FIPS configurations are available:
+
+- **DebugFIPS** (Win32 and x64): For debugging FIPS builds using static libraries
+- **ReleaseFIPS** (Win32 and x64): For release FIPS builds using static libraries
+- **DLL DebugFIPS** (Win32 and x64): For debugging FIPS builds using dynamic libraries
+- **DLL ReleaseFIPS** (Win32 and x64): For release FIPS builds using dynamic libraries
+
+### Matching wolfSSL FIPS Builds
+
+When building wolfSSH with FIPS configurations, ensure that the corresponding
+wolfSSL FIPS build is available.
+
+If you build the wolfSSL FIPS code in the **Release x64** configuration,
+then you should build wolfSSH with the **ReleaseFIPS x64** configuration.
+
+Similarly:
+- wolfSSL **Debug x64** → wolfSSH **DebugFIPS x64**
+- wolfSSL **Release Win32** → wolfSSH **ReleaseFIPS Win32**
+- wolfSSL **DLL Release x64** → wolfSSH **DLL ReleaseFIPS x64**
