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.
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.
As this is a FreeBSD port, it has been tailored to FreeBSD. It
uses the DES, MD2 and MD5 from FreeBSD 2.2+. Earlier versions of
freebsd have a DES library that is missing bits, and SSLeay will
not compile properly. The answer is to get the latest secure/ dist.
