-Welcome to the OpenSSL Project
-==============================
-
OpenSSL is a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured Open Source Toolkit
for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol formerly known as the
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. The protocol implementation is based
The official Home Page of the OpenSSL Project is [www.openssl.org][].

Table of Contents
=================
- **openssl**
the OpenSSL command line tool, a swiss army knife for cryptographic tasks,
testing and analyzing. It 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...

Download
========
Unix operating systems it is normally recommended to link against the
precompiled shared libraries provided by the distributor or vendor.
-
For Testing and Development
---------------------------
A local copy of the Git Repository can be obtained by cloning it from
the original OpenSSL repository using
- git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git
+ git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git
or from the GitHub mirror using
- git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
+ git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
If you intend to contribute to OpenSSL, either to fix bugs or contribute
new features, you need to fork the OpenSSL repository openssl/openssl on
GitHub and clone your public fork instead.
- git clone https://github.com/yourname/openssl.git
+ git clone https://github.com/yourname/openssl.git
This is necessary, because all development of OpenSSL nowadays is done via
GitHub pull requests. For more details, see [Contributing](#contributing).
