NAME

       openssl - OpenSSL cryptographic and Secure Sockets Layer toolkit

DESCRIPTION

       OpenSSL	is a cryptography 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:  ECC,   IDEA,  MDC2,  RC3, RC5, Dynamic Engine Loading, 4758_CCA Engine, AEP Engine,  Atalla Engine, CHIL Engine, CSWIFT Engine, GMP
       Engine, NURON Engine, PadLock Engine, Sureware Engine, and UBSEC Engine.

       A new PKCS#11 engine has been included with ENGINE name "pkcs11". The engine was developed in Sun and is  not  integrated  in  the  OpenSSL
       project.

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

       The  PKCS#11  engine  can  support  the	following set of mechanisms: CKM_AES_CBC, CKM_AES_ECB, CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC, CKM_DES_CBC, CKM_DES_ECB,
       CKM_DES3_CBC, CKM_DES3_ECB, CKM_DSA, CKM_MD5, CKM_RC4, CKM_RSA_PKCS, CKM_RSA_X_509,  CKM_SHA_1,	CKM_SHA224,  CKM_SHA256,  CKM_SHA384,  and
       CKM_SHA512.

       The  set  of  mechanisms  available depends on installed Crypto Framework providers. To see what mechanisms can be offloaded to the Crypto-
       graphic Framework through the PKCS#11 engine on a given machine, run the following command:

	 /usr/sfw/bin/openssl engine -vvv -t -c

       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... -lcrypto -lssl [ library... ]

       Extensive  additional  documentation  for  OpenSSL  modules  is	available  in  the /usr/share/man/man1openssl, /usr/share/man/man3openssl,
       /usr/share/man/man5openssl, and /usr/share/man/man7openssl directories.
