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 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' - - Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm --dump' - - 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.
