NAME

       openssl - OpenSSL cryptographic & Secure Sockets Layer toolkit

DESCRIPTION

       OpenSSL	is  a crypography toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) network proto-
       cols.

       The following features are omitted from the binaries for issues including but not limited to patents, trademark,  and  US  export  restric-
       tions:  MDC2,  RC3,  RC5,  IDEA, ECC, Dynamic Engine Loading, CSWIFT Engine, nCipher Engine, Atalla Engine, NURON Engine, UBSEC Engine, AEP
       Engine, Sureware Engine, and 4758_CCA Engine.

       A new PKCS#11 engine has been included with ENGINE name "pkcs11".

       The PKCS#11 engine is configured to use the Solaris Cryptographic Framework. See cryptoadm(1M) for configuration information.

       Due to requirements of the PKCS#11 standard regarding fork(2) behavior, some applications that use the OpenSSL EVP  interfaces  and  fork()
       with active crypto contexts might experience unexpected behavior.

       To build an OpenSSL application, use the following cc command line options:

       cc [ flag... ] file... -I/usr/sfw/include -lcrypto -lssl 
	  -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib [ library... ]

       Extensive  additional  documentation for OpenSSL modules is available in the /usr/sfw/share/man directory. This documentation can be viewed
       with man(1) by including /usr/sfw/share/man in the MANPATH environment variable. Running catman(1M) on the OpenSSL manual pages is not sup-
       ported.
