It includes + +libssl.a: + An implementation of Netscapes SSL v 2 protocol. This library + implements the SSL protocol. + +libcrypto.a: + General encryption and X509 stuff needed by SSL but not + actually logically part of it. It includes routines for the following: + RC4 encryption, + IDEA encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb. + MD5 and MD2 message digest algorithms, + SHA (SHA-0) and SHA-1 message digest algorithms, + RSA encryption/decryption/key 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. + X509 encoding/decoding into/from binary ASN1 and a + PEM based ascii-binary encoding which supports encryption with + a private key. + (The DES routines, while a part if this source distribution + are not included in the compiled package, as they are part + of the base FreeBSD secure/ distribution) + +Programs in this package include + enc - a general encryption program that can encrypt/decrypt using + one of 17 different cipher/mode combinations. The + input/output can also be converted to/from base64 + ascii encoding. + dgst - a generate message digesting program that will generate + message digests for any of md2, md5, sha (sha-0) or sha-1. + asn1parse - parse and display the structure of an asn1 encoded + binary file. + rsa - Manipulate RSA private keys. + dh - Manipulate Diffie-Hellman parameter files. + crl - Manipulate certificate revocation lists. + x509 - Manipulate x509 certificates, self-sign certificates. + req - Manipulate PKCS#10 certificate requests and also + generate certificate requests. + genrsa - Generates an arbitrary sized RSA private key. + gendh - Generates a set of Diffie-Hellman parameters, the prime + will be a strong prime. + ca - Create certificates from PKCS#10 certificate requests. + This program also maintains a database of certificates + issued. + verify - Check x509 certificate signatures. + speed - Benchmark SSLeay's ciphers. + s_server - A test SSL server. + s_client - A test SSL client. + s_time - Benchmark SSL performance of SSL server programs. |
