HT5239 Where can I get Apple FIPS Role guide for user so that I can use the APIs from my application

I am trying to use Apple's FIPS certified crypto library's crypto APIs in my application to do the crypto operations. For that I was asked to refer the "Role Guide : User" in the nist document. But I couldn't find the same. Can I know where I can download the same.

The OS X and iOS programming documentation is the Cryptographic Services Guide, and related manuals.
AFAIK, what you're probably after is the Common Crypto stuff that's part of libSystem.  See man CC_crypto for some introductory details of that, and there's a sample program available.
The devforums.apple.com developer forums and the developer.apple.com web site will be better resources for programming questions than are these ASC forums (and that includes my answer here!), and the Fed-Talk mailing list might be of interest for this question.
Given the usual arc these security questions follow, I'd suggest ignoring what I've posted here and directly contacting the Apple Developer Technical Services (DTS) folks, and ask for formal help with this.  The folks I've worked with over the years that were looking for FIPS 140-2 crypto stuff and similar usually have a requirement for a paperwork trail involved, and that means direct contact with the vendor when you cannot local published formal statements.   Not unofficial stuff from random folks like me posted here in ASC.  (There's an Apple contact on that FIPS page, BTW.)
