| + 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 (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.
|
| +
|
| + OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed from Eric A. Young
|
| + and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the
|
| + OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license) situation, which basically 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:
|
| + Implementation of SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1 and the required code to support
|
| + both SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 in the one server and client.
|
| +
|
| + libcrypto.a:
|
| + General encryption and X.509 v1/v3 stuff needed by SSL/TLS but not
|
| + actually logically part of it. It includes routines for the following:
|
| +
|
| + Ciphers
|
| + libdes - EAY's libdes DES encryption package which was floating
|
| + around the net for a few years, and was then relicensed by
|
| + him as part of SSLeay. It includes 15 'modes/variations'
|
| + of DES (1, 2 and 3 key versions of ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb;
|
| + pcbc and a more general form of cfb and ofb) including desx
|
| + in cbc mode, a fast crypt(3), and routines to read
|
| + passwords from the keyboard.
|
| + RC4 encryption,
|
| + RC2 encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
| + Blowfish encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
| + IDEA encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
| +
|
| + 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 popular on smart cards.
|
| +
|
| + Public Key
|
| + RSA encryption/decryption/generation.
|
| + There is no limit on the number of bits.
|
| + DSA encryption/decryption/generation.
|
| + There is no limit on the number of bits.
|
| + Diffie-Hellman key-exchange/key generation.
|
| + There is no limit on the number of bits.
|
| +
|
| + X.509v3 certificates
|
| + X509 encoding/decoding into/from binary ASN1 and a PEM
|
| + based ASCII-binary encoding which supports encryption with a
|
| + private key. Program to generate RSA and DSA certificate
|
| + requests and to generate RSA and DSA certificates.
|
| +
|
| + Systems
|
| + The normal digital envelope routines and base64 encoding. Higher
|
| + level access to ciphers and digests by name. New ciphers can be
|
| + loaded at run time. The BIO io system which is a simple non-blocking
|
| + IO abstraction. Current methods supported are file descriptors,
|
| + sockets, socket accept, socket connect, memory buffer, buffering, SSL
|
| + client/server, file pointer, encryption, digest, non-blocking testing
|
| + and null.
|
| +
|
| + Data structures
|
| + A dynamically growing hashing system
|
| + A simple stack.
|
| + A Configuration loader that uses a format similar to MS .ini files.
|
| +
|
| + openssl:
|
| + A command line tool that can be used for:
|
| + Creation of RSA, DH and DSA key parameters
|
| + Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
|
| + Calculation of Message Digests
|
| + Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers
|
| + SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests
|
| + Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
|
| +
|

|
| + PATENTS
|
| + -------
|
| +
|
| + Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
|
| + locations around the world. _YOU_ are responsible for ensuring that your use
|
| + of any algorithms is legal by checking if there are any patents in your
|
| + country. The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are
|
| + rumored to exist. This is not a definitive list.
|
| +
|
| + RSA Security holds software patents on the RC5 algorithm. If you
|
| + intend to use this cipher, you must contact RSA Security for
|
| + licensing conditions. Their web page is http://www.rsasecurity.com/.
|
| +
|
| + RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security, so use of this label should perhaps
|
| + only be used with RSA Security's permission.
|
| +
|
| + The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
|
| + Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They
|
| + should be contacted if that algorithm is to be used; their web page is
|
| + http://www.ascom.ch/.
|
| +
|
| + The MDC2 algorithm is patented by IBM.
|
| +
|
| + NTT and Mitsubishi have patents and pending patents on the Camellia
|
| + algorithm, but allow use at no charge without requiring an explicit
|
| + licensing agreement: http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html
|
| +
|
| + INSTALLATION
|
| + ------------
|
| +
|
| + To install this package under a Unix derivative, read the INSTALL file. For
|
| + a Win32 platform, read the INSTALL.W32 file. For OpenVMS systems, read
|
| + INSTALL.VMS.
|
| +
|
| + Read the documentation in the doc/ directory. It is quite rough, but it
|
| + lists the functions; you will probably have to look at the code to work out
|
| + how to use them. Look at the example programs.
|
| +
|
| + PROBLEMS
|
| + --------
|
| +
|
| + For some platforms, there are some known problems that may affect the user
|
| + or application author. We try to collect those in doc/PROBLEMS, with current
|
| + thoughts on how they should be solved in a future of OpenSSL.
|
| +
|

|
| + HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
|
| + ----------------------------
|
| +
|
| + Development is coordinated on the openssl-dev mailing list (see
|
| + http://www.openssl.org for information on subscribing). If you
|
| + would like to submit a patch, send it to openssl-dev@openssl.org with
|
| + the string "[PATCH]" in the subject. Please be sure to include a
|
| + textual explanation of what your patch does.
|
| +
|
| + Note: For legal reasons, contributions from the US can be accepted only
|
| + if a TSU notification and a copy of the patch are sent to crypt@bis.doc.gov
|
| + (formerly BXA) with a copy to the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator;
|
| + please take some time to look at
|
| + http://www.bis.doc.gov/Encryption/PubAvailEncSourceCodeNofify.html [sic]
|
| + and
|
| + http://w3.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/pdf/740.pdf (EAR Section 740.13(e))
|
| + for the details. If "your encryption source code is too large to serve as
|
| + an email attachment", they are glad to receive it by fax instead; hope you
|
| + have a cheap long-distance plan.
|
| +
|
| + Our preferred format for changes is "diff -u" output. You might
|
| + generate it like this:
|
| +
|
| + # cd openssl-work
|
| + # [your changes]
|
| + # ./Configure dist; make clean
|
| + # cd ..
|
| + # diff -ur openssl-orig openssl-work > mydiffs.patch
|
| +
