1 Standards related to OpenSSL
2 ============================
4 [Please, this is currently a draft. I made a first try at finding
5 documents that describe parts of what OpenSSL implements. There are
6 big gaps, and I've most certainly done something wrong. Please
7 correct whatever is... Also, this note should be removed when this
8 file is reaching a somewhat correct state. -- Richard Levitte]
11 All pointers in here will be either URL's or blobs of text borrowed
12 from miscellaneous indexes, like rfc-index.txt (index of RFCs),
13 1id-index.txt (index of Internet drafts) and the like.
15 To find the latest possible RFCs, it's recommended to either browse
16 ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ or go to http://www.rfc-editor.org/ and
17 use the search mechanism found there.
18 To find the latest possible Internet drafts, it's recommended to
19 browse ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/.
20 To find the latest possible PKCS, it's recommended to browse

28 whole or at least great parts) in OpenSSL.
