- OpenSSL 1.1.1-dev
-
- 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 current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
-      to see if the problem has already been addressed
-    - Remove ASM versions of libraries
-    - Remove compiler optimisation flags
-
- If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
- any bug report:
-
-    - 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)
-
- Email the report to:
-
-    rt@openssl.org
-
- In order to avoid spam, this is a moderated mailing list, and it might
- take a couple of days for the ticket to show up.  (We also scan posts to make
- sure that security disclosures aren't publicly posted by mistake.) Mail
- to this address is recorded in the public RT (request tracker) database
- (see https://www.openssl.org/community/index.html#bugs for details) and
- also forwarded the public openssl-dev mailing list.  Confidential mail
- may be sent to openssl-security@openssl.org (PGP key available from the
- key servers).
-
- Please do NOT use this 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. Use the openssl-users email list for this type
- of query.
-
- You can also make GitHub pull requests. See the CONTRIBUTING file for more
- details.

- LEGALITIES
- ----------
-
- A number of nations, in particular the U.S., 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.
