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 (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/. - - 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. - - SUPPORT - ------- - - See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details of how to obtain - commercial technical support. - - If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps - first: - - - Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/ - to see if the problem has already been addressed - - Remove ASM versions of libraries - - Remove compiler optimisation flags - - If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in - any bug report: - - - 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) - - Report the bug to the OpenSSL project via the Request Tracker - (http://www.openssl.org/support/rt.html) by mail to: - - openssl-bugs@openssl.org - - Note that the request tracker should NOT be used for general assistance - or support queries. Just because something doesn't work the way you expect - does not mean it is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. - - Note that mail to openssl-bugs@openssl.org is recorded in the publicly - readable request tracker database and is forwarded to a public - mailing list. Confidential mail may be sent to openssl-security@openssl.org - (PGP key available from the key servers). - - 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-bugs@openssl.org with - the string "[PATCH]" in the subject. Please be sure to include a - textual explanation of what your patch does. - - If you are unsure as to whether a feature will be useful for the general - OpenSSL community please discuss it on the openssl-dev mailing list first. - Someone may be already working on the same thing or there may be a good - reason as to why that feature isn't implemented. - - Patches should be as up to date as possible, preferably relative to the - current CVS or the last snapshot. They should follow the coding style of - OpenSSL and compile without warnings. Some of the core team developer targets - can be used for testing purposes, (debug-steve64, debug-geoff etc). OpenSSL - compiles on many varied platforms: try to ensure you only use portable - features. - - 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 - + + OpenSSL 1.0.0d + + Copyright (c) 1998-2011 The OpenSSL Project + Copyright (c) 1995-1998 Eric A.
