- My implementation of SSLv2, SSLv3 and the required code to support
- both SSLv2 and SSLv3 in the one server.
-
-libcrypto.a:
- General encryption and X509 stuff needed by SSL but not
- actually logically part of it. It includes routines for the following:
-
- Ciphers
- libdes - My libdes DES encryption package which has been floating
- around the net for a few years. It includes 15
- 'modes/variations' of DES (1, 2 and 3 key versions of ecb,
- cbc, cfb and ofb; pcbc and a more general form of cfb and ofb)

-
-Documents avaliable are
- A Postscript and html reference manual
- (written by Tim Hudson tjh@cryptsoft.com).
-
- A list of text protocol references I used.
- An initial version of the library manual.
-
-To install this package, read the INSTALL file.
-For the Microsoft word, read MICROSOFT
-This library has been compiled and tested on Solaris 2.[34] (sparc and x86),
-SunOS 4.1.3, DGUX, OSF1 Alpha, HPUX 9, AIX 3.5(?), IRIX 5.[23],
-LINUX, NeXT (intel), linux, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, MSDOS 6.22.
-
-Multithreading has been tested under Windows NT and Solaris 2.5.1
-
-Due to time constraints, the current release has only be rigorously tested
-on Solaris 2.[45], Linux and Windows NT.
-
-For people in the USA, it is possible to compile SSLeay to use RSA
-Inc.'s public key library, RSAref. From my understanding, it is
-claimed by RSA Inc. to be illegal to use my public key routines inside the USA.
-Read doc/rsaref.doc on how to build with RSAref.
-
-Read the documentation in the doc directory. It is quite rough,
-but it lists the functions, you will probably have to look at
-the code to work out how to used them. I will be working on
-documentation. Look at the example programs.
-
-There should be a SSL reference manual which is being put together by
-Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com) in the same location as this
-distribution. This contains a lot more information that is very
-useful. For a description of X509 Certificates, their use, and
-certification, read rfc1421, rfc1422, rfc1423 and rfc1424. ssl/README
-also goes over the mechanism.
-
-We have setup some mailing lists for use by people that are interested
-in helping develop this code and/or ask questions.
- ssl-bugs@mincom.oz.au
- ssl-users@mincom.oz.au
- ssl-bugs-request@mincom.oz.au
- ssl-users-request@mincom.oz.au
-
-I have recently read about a new form of software, that which is in
-a permanent state of beta release. Linux and Netscape are 2 good
-examples of this, and I would also add SSLeay to this category.
-The Current stable release is 0.6.6. It has a few minor problems.
-0.8.0 is not call compatable so make sure you have the correct version
-of SSLeay to link with.

+ Copyright (c) 1998-2016 The OpenSSL Project
+ Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Eric A. Young, Tim J. Hudson
+ All rights reserved.
+
+ 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 optimisation 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'
+ - Any "Configure" options that you selected during compilation of the
+ library if applicable (see INSTALL)
+ - 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.
+
+ HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
+ ----------------------------
+
+ See CONTRIBUTING
+
+ 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.
