- libdes - EAY's libdes DES encryption package which has been floating

- '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) including desx in cbc mode, a fast crypt(3), and
- routines to read passwords from the keyboard.

- PATENTS
- -------
-
- Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
- locations around the world. _YOU_ are responsible for ensuring that your use
- of any algorithms is legal by checking if there are any patents in your
- country. The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are
- rumored to exist. This is not a definitive list.
-
- RSA Security holds software patents on the RC5 algorithm. If you
- intend to use this cipher, you must contact RSA Security for
- licensing conditions. Their web page is http://www.rsasecurity.com/.
-
- RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security, so use of this label should perhaps
- only be used with RSA Security's permission.
-
- The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
- Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They
- should be contacted if that algorithm is to be used; their web page is
- http://www.ascom.ch/.
-
- The MDC2 algorithm is patented by IBM.
-
- NTT and Mitsubishi have patents and pending patents on the Camellia
- algorithm, but allow use at no charge without requiring an explicit
- licensing agreement: http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html

SUPPORT
-------
+ See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details of how to obtain
+ commercial technical support.
+
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
first:
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
Report the bug to the OpenSSL project via the Request Tracker
- (http://www.openssl.org/support/rt2.html) by mail to:
+ (http://www.openssl.org/support/rt.html) by mail to:
openssl-bugs@openssl.org
+ Note that the request tracker should NOT be used for general assistance
+ or support queries. Just because something doesn't work the way you expect
+ does not mean it is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL.
+
Note that mail to openssl-bugs@openssl.org is recorded in the publicly
readable request tracker database and is forwarded to a public
mailing list. Confidential mail may be sent to openssl-security@openssl.org
Development is coordinated on the openssl-dev mailing list (see
http://www.openssl.org for information on subscribing). If you
- would like to submit a patch, send it to openssl-dev@openssl.org with
+ would like to submit a patch, send it to openssl-bugs@openssl.org with
the string "[PATCH]" in the subject. Please be sure to include a
textual explanation of what your patch does.
+ If you are unsure as to whether a feature will be useful for the general
+ OpenSSL community please discuss it on the openssl-dev mailing list first.
+ Someone may be already working on the same thing or there may be a good
+ reason as to why that feature isn't implemented.
+
+ Patches should be as up to date as possible, preferably relative to the
+ current Git or the last snapshot. They should follow the coding style of
+ OpenSSL and compile without warnings. Some of the core team developer targets
+ can be used for testing purposes, (debug-steve64, debug-geoff etc). OpenSSL
+ compiles on many varied platforms: try to ensure you only use portable
+ features.

Note: For legal reasons, contributions from the US can be accepted only
if a TSU notification and a copy of the patch are sent to crypt@bis.doc.gov
(formerly BXA) with a copy to the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator;
