libcrypto.so is a shared library - not a Java jar. From the OpenSSl documentation:

OVERVIEW

libcrypto consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the individual algorithms.

The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic hash functions and a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator.

SYMMETRIC CIPHERS

blowfish(3), cast(3), des(3), idea(3), rc2(3), rc4(3), rc5(3)

PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY AND KEY AGREEMENT

dsa(3), dh(3), rsa(3)

CERTIFICATES

x509(3), x509v3(3)

AUTHENTICATION CODES, HASH FUNCTIONS

hmac(3), md2(3), md4(3), md5(3), mdc2(3), ripemd(3), sha(3)

AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS

err(3), threads(3), rand(3), OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER(3)

INPUT/OUTPUT, DATA ENCODING

asn1(3), bio(3), evp(3), pem(3), pkcs7(3), pkcs12(3)

INTERNAL FUNCTIONS

bn(3), buffer(3), lhash(3), objects(3), stack(3), txt_db(3)

There are lots of tools you can use to "see" what is in the library. The most useful to start with is probably nm.

pkcs7_decrypt

PKCS7_decrypt(3)						      OpenSSL							  PKCS7_decrypt(3)

NAME

       PKCS7_decrypt - decrypt content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure

LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/pkcs7.h>

	int PKCS7_decrypt(PKCS7 *p7, EVP_PKEY *pkey, X509 *cert, BIO *data, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       PKCS7_decrypt() extracts and decrypts the content from a PKCS#7 envelopedData structure. pkey is the private key of the recipient, cert is
       the recipients certificate, data is a BIO to write the content to and flags is an optional set of flags.

NOTES

       OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() (or equivalent) should be called before using this function or errors about unknown algorithms will occur.

       Although the recipients certificate is not needed to decrypt the data it is needed to locate the appropriate (of possible several)
       recipients in the PKCS#7 structure.

       The following flags can be passed in the flags parameter.

       If the PKCS7_TEXT flag is set MIME headers for type text/plain are deleted from the content. If the content is not of type text/plain then
       an error is returned.

RETURN VALUES

       PKCS7_decrypt() returns either 1 for success or 0 for failure.  The error can be obtained from ERR_get_error(3)

BUGS

       PKCS7_decrypt() must be passed the correct recipient key and certificate. It would be better if it could look up the correct key and
       certificate from a database.

       The lack of single pass processing and need to hold all data in memory as mentioned in PKCS7_sign() also applies to PKCS7_verify().

HISTORY

       PKCS7_decrypt() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.5
