Apache 1.3 + mod_ssl 2.1 ``mod_ssl combines the flexibility of
|
|
======================== Apache with the security of SSLeay.''
|
|
|
|
This is Apache version 1.3 plus mod_ssl which provides strong cryptography
|
|
via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS
|
|
v1) protocols by the help of the SSL/TLS implementation library SSLeay from
|
|
Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The mod_ssl package was created in April
|
|
1998 by Ralf S. Engelschall and was originally derived from software
|
|
developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Apache-SSL HTTP server project.
|
|
|
|
As a summary, here are its main SSL/TLS-related features:
|
|
o Open-Source software (BSD-style license)
|
|
o Useable for both commercial and non-commercial use
|
|
o Available for both Unix and Win32 platforms
|
|
o 128-bit strong cryptography world-wide
|
|
o Support for SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols
|
|
o Clean reviewable ANSI C source code
|
|
o Clean Apache module architecture
|
|
o Integrates seamlessly into Apache through an Extended API (EAPI)
|
|
o Full Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support
|
|
o Support for the SSLeay+RSAref US-situation
|
|
o Advanced pass-phrase handling for private keys
|
|
o X.509 certificate based authentication for both client and server
|
|
o Additional boolean-expression based access control facility
|
|
o Backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions
|
|
o Inter-process SSL session cache
|
|
o Powerful dedicated SSL engine logging facility
|
|
o Simple and robust application to Apache source trees
|
|
o Fully integrated into the Apache 1.3 configuration mechanism
|
|
o Additional integration into the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI)
|
|
o Assistance in X.509 v3 certificate generation
