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. + + 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. |
