+ OpenSSL 1.0.2k 26 Jan 2017
+
+ Copyright (c) 1998-2015 The OpenSSL Project
+ Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Eric A. 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
+ Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols as
+ well as a full-strength general purpose cryptograpic 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.
+
+ 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.a:
+ Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
+
+ libcrypto.a:
+ 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, etc.
+ INSTALL.DJGPP DOS platform with DJGPP
+ INSTALL.NW Netware
+ INSTALL.OS2 OS/2
+ INSTALL.VMS VMS
+ INSTALL.W32 Windows (32bit)
+ INSTALL.W64 Windows (64bit)
+ INSTALL.WCE Windows CE
+
+ SUPPORT
+ -------
+
+ See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
+ commercial technical support.
+
+ 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 optimisation flags
+
+ If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
+ and create an issue on GitHub:
+
+ - 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)
+ - 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.

+ 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.
