+OpenSSL is a descendant of SSLeay, the SSL library by Eric A. Young
+and Tim J. 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.
