OpenSSL is a descendant of SSLeay, the SSL library by Eric A. Young
and Tim J. Hudson, maintained by a group of volunteers.

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.
