The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols as
- well as a full-strength general purpose cryptographic library. The project is
- managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to
- communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related
- documentation.
+ 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
The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
- libssl.a:
+ libssl (with platform specific naming):
Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
- libcrypto.a:
+ libcrypto (with platform specific naming):
Provides general cryptographic and X.509 support needed by SSL/TLS but
not logically part of it.

If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
first:
- - Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
+ - Download the latest version from the repository
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:
-
- - On Unix systems:
- Self-test report generated by 'make report'
- - On other systems:
- OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
- OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
- Compiler Details (name, version)
+ - Configure with no-asm
+ - Remove compiler optimization 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)
- Email the report to:

- In order to avoid spam, this is a moderated mailing list, and it might
- take a day for the ticket to show up. (We also scan posts to make sure
- that security disclosures aren't publically 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

-
- You can also make GitHub pull requests. If you do this, please also send
- mail to rt@openssl.org with a link to the PR so that we can more easily
- keep track of it.
