OpenSSL is an open source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols.
It provides an encryption transport layer on top of the normal communications layer, allowing it to be intertwined with many network applications and services.
-The version of OpenSSL included in FreeBSD supports the Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSLv3) and Transport Layer Security 1.0/1.1/1.2 (TLSv1/TLSv1.1/TLSv1.2) network security protocols and can be used as a general cryptographic library.
-In FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE and above, OpenSSL also supports Transport Layer Security 1.3 (TLSv1.3).
+The version of OpenSSL included in FreeBSD supports Transport Layer Security 1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3 (TLSv1/TLSv1.1/TLSv1.2/TLSv1.3) network security protocols and can be used as a general cryptographic library.
OpenSSL is often used to encrypt authentication of mail clients and to secure web based transactions such as credit card payments.
Some ports, such as package:www/apache24[] and package:databases/postgresql11-server[], include a compile option for building with OpenSSL.
