8 DESCRIPTION
9 -----------
10
11 The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
12 commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the
13 Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols (including SSLv3) as well as a
14 full-strength general purpose cryptographic library.
15
16 OpenSSL is descended from the SSLeay library developed by Eric A. Young
17 and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the
18 OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license), which means that you are free to
19 get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes as long as you
20 fulfill the conditions of both licenses.
21
22 OVERVIEW
23 --------
24
25 The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
26
27 libssl (with platform specific naming):
28 Provides the client and server-side implementations for SSLv3 and TLS.
29
30 libcrypto (with platform specific naming):
31 Provides general cryptographic and X.509 support needed by SSL/TLS but
32 not logically part of it.
33
34 openssl:
35 A command line tool that can be used for:
36 Creation of key parameters
37 Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
38 Calculation of message digests
39 Encryption and decryption
40 SSL/TLS client and server tests
41 Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
42 And more...

44 INSTALLATION
45 ------------
46
47 See the appropriate file:
48 INSTALL Linux, Unix, Windows, OpenVMS, ...
49 NOTES.* INSTALL addendums for different platforms
50
51 SUPPORT
52 -------
53
54 See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
55 commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the
56 openssl-users email list (see
57 https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for further details).
58
59 If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
60 first:
61
62 - Download the latest version from the repository
63 to see if the problem has already been addressed
64 - Configure with no-asm
65 - Remove compiler optimization flags
66
67 If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
68 and create an issue on GitHub:
69
70 - OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
71 - Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm --dump'
72 - OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
73 - Compiler Details (name, version)
74 - Application Details (name, version)
75 - Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
76 - Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
77
78 Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
79 is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. Use the openssl-users email list for this type
80 of query.

87 LEGALITIES
88 ----------
89
90 A number of nations restrict the use or export of cryptography. If you
91 are potentially subject to such restrictions you should seek competent
92 professional legal advice before attempting to develop or distribute
93 cryptographic code.
