TLS/SSL library and tools

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

OpenSSL is an open-source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. This package is not intended for general-purpose use in OpenBSD - it is present for test/comparison purposes, and occasionally to provide support for applications which cannot be made compatible with LibreSSL (mostly due to use of removed APIs); in the latter case care must be taken - it will conflict if library dependencies use LibreSSL libraries.
