This is Eric Young's SSL and Crypto library. 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.
