Hudson, maintained by a group of volunteers. -The package includes -libssl.so: - My implementation of SSLv2, SSLv3 and the required code to support - both SSLv2 and SSLv3 in the one server. -libcrypto.so: - 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. - RC4, RC2, Blowfish, IDEA encryption - Digests - MD5 and MD2 message digest algorithms, fast implementations, - SHA (SHA-0) and SHA-1 message digest algorithms, - MDC2 message digest. A DES based hash that is polular on smart cards. - Public Key - RSA encryption/decryption/generation. - DSA encryption/decryption/generation. - Diffie-Hellman key-exchange/key generation. - There is no limit on the number of bits. - X509v3 certificates - X509 encoding/decoding into/from binary ASN1 and a PEM. - Program to generate RSA and DSA certificate requests and certificates. +The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, +commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing +the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS +v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography +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. |
