| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| |
| The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, |
| commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the |
| Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols (including SSLv3) as well as a |
| full-strength general purpose cryptographic library. |
| |
| 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 (with platform specific naming): |
| Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS. |
| |
| libcrypto (with platform specific naming): |
| 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... |
| |
| INSTALLATION |
| ------------ |
| |
| See the appropriate file: |
| INSTALL Linux, Unix, Windows, OpenVMS, ... |
| NOTES.* INSTALL addendums for different platforms |
| |
| SUPPORT |
| ------- |
| |
| See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain |
| commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the |
| openssl-users email list (see |
| https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for further details). |
| |
| 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 optimization flags |
| |
| If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information |
| and create an issue on GitHub: |
| |
| - OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a' |
| - Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm --dump' |
| - 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. Use the openssl-users email list for this type |
| of query. |

| 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. |
