DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
|
|
commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the
|
|
Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols as
|
|
well as a full-strength general purpose cryptograpic library. The project is
|
|
managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to
|
|
communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
OpenSSL is descended from the SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young
|
|
and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the
|
|
OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license), which means that you are free to
|
|
get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes as long as you
|
|
fulfill the conditions of both licenses.
|
|
|
|
OVERVIEW
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
|
|
|
|
libssl.a:
|
|
Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
|
|
|
|
libcrypto.a:
|
|
Provides general cryptographic and X.509 support needed by SSL/TLS but
|
|
not logically part of it.
|
|
|
|
openssl:
|
|
A command line tool that can be used for:
|
|
Creation of key parameters
|
|
Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
|
|
Calculation of message digests
|
|
Encryption and decryption
|
|
SSL/TLS client and server tests
|
|
Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
|
|
And more...
|

SUPPORT
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
|
|
commercial technical support.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
|
|
first:
|
|
|
|
- Download the latest version from the repository
|
|
to see if the problem has already been addressed
|
|
- Configure with no-asm
|
|
- Remove compiler optimisation flags
|
|
|
|
If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
|
|
and create an issue on GitHub:
|
|
|
|
- On Unix systems:
|
|
Self-test report generated by 'make report'
|
|
- On other systems:
|
|
OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
|
|
OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
|
|
Compiler Details (name, version)
|
|
- Application Details (name, version)
|
|
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
|
|
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
|
|
|
|
Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
|
|
is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL.

LEGALITIES
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
A number of nations restrict the use or export of cryptography. If you
|
|
are potentially subject to such restrictions you should seek competent
|
|
professional legal advice before attempting to develop or distribute
|
|
cryptographic code.
