DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
|
||||
commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the
|
||||
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1)
|
||||
protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.
|
||||
The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the
|
||||
Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its
|
||||
related documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed from Eric A. Young
|
||||
and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the
|
||||
OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license) situation, which basically means
|
||||
that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial
|
||||
purposes as long as you fulfill the conditions of both licenses.
|
||||
|
||||
OVERVIEW
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenSSL toolkit includes:
|
||||
|
||||
libssl.a:
|
||||
Implementation of SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1 and the required code to support
|
||||
both SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 in the one server and client.
|
||||
|
||||
libcrypto.a:
|
||||
General encryption and X.509 v1/v3 stuff needed by SSL/TLS but not
|
||||
actually logically part of it. It includes routines for the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Ciphers
|
||||
libdes - EAY's libdes DES encryption package which was floating
|
||||
around the net for a few years, and was then relicensed by
|
||||
him as part of SSLeay. It includes 15 'modes/variations'
|
||||
of DES (1, 2 and 3 key versions of ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb;
|
||||
pcbc and a more general form of cfb and ofb) including desx
|
||||
in cbc mode, a fast crypt(3), and routines to read
|
||||
passwords from the keyboard.
|
||||
RC4 encryption,
|
||||
RC2 encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
||||
Blowfish encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
||||
IDEA encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
|
||||
|
||||
Digests
|
||||
MD5 and MD2 message digest algorithms, fast implementations,
|
||||
SHA (SHA-0) and SHA-1 message digest algorithms,
|
||||
MDC2 message digest. A DES based hash that is popular on smart cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Public Key
|
||||
RSA encryption/decryption/generation.
|
||||
There is no limit on the number of bits.
|
||||
DSA encryption/decryption/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.
|
||||
|
||||
X.509v3 certificates
|
||||
X509 encoding/decoding into/from binary ASN1 and a PEM
|
||||
based ASCII-binary encoding which supports encryption with a
|
||||
private key. Program to generate RSA and DSA certificate
|
||||
requests and to generate RSA and DSA certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
Systems
|
||||
The normal digital envelope routines and base64 encoding. Higher
|
||||
level access to ciphers and digests by name. New ciphers can be
|
||||
loaded at run time. The BIO io system which is a simple non-blocking
|
||||
IO abstraction. Current methods supported are file descriptors,
|
||||
sockets, socket accept, socket connect, memory buffer, buffering, SSL
|
||||
client/server, file pointer, encryption, digest, non-blocking testing
|
||||
and null.
|
||||
|
||||
Data structures
|
||||
A dynamically growing hashing system
|
||||
A simple stack.
|
||||
A Configuration loader that uses a format similar to MS .ini files.
|
||||
|
||||
openssl:
|
||||
A command line tool that can be used for:
|
||||
Creation of RSA, DH and DSA key parameters
|
||||
Creation of X.509 certificates, CSRs and CRLs
|
||||
Calculation of Message Digests
|
||||
Encryption and Decryption with Ciphers
|
||||
SSL/TLS Client and Server Tests
|
||||
Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PATENTS
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
|
||||
locations around the world. _YOU_ are responsible for ensuring that your use
|
||||
of any algorithms is legal by checking if there are any patents in your
|
||||
country. The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are
|
||||
rumored to exist. This is not a definitive list.
|
||||
|
||||
RSA Security holds software patents on the RC5 algorithm. If you
|
||||
intend to use this cipher, you must contact RSA Security for
|
||||
licensing conditions. Their web page is http://www.rsasecurity.com/.
|
||||
|
||||
RC4 is a trademark of RSA Security, so use of this label should perhaps
|
||||
only be used with RSA Security's permission.
|
||||
|
||||
The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
|
||||
Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA. They
|
||||
should be contacted if that algorithm is to be used; their web page is
|
||||
http://www.ascom.ch/.
|
||||
|
||||
NTT and Mitsubishi have patents and pending patents on the Camellia
|
||||
algorithm, but allow use at no charge without requiring an explicit
|
||||
licensing agreement: http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLATION
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
To install this package under a Unix derivative, read the INSTALL file. For
|
||||
a Win32 platform, read the INSTALL.W32 file. For OpenVMS systems, read
|
||||
INSTALL.VMS.
|
||||
|
||||
Read the documentation in the doc/ directory. It is quite rough, but it
|
||||
lists the functions; you will probably have to look at the code to work out
|
||||
how to use them. Look at the example programs.
|
||||
|
||||
PROBLEMS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
For some platforms, there are some known problems that may affect the user
|
||||
or application author. We try to collect those in doc/PROBLEMS, with current
|
||||
thoughts on how they should be solved in a future of OpenSSL.
|
||||
|
||||
SUPPORT
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details of how to obtain
|
||||
commercial technical support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
|
||||
first:
|
||||
|
||||
- Download the current snapshot from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
|
||||
to see if the problem has already been addressed
|
||||
- Remove ASM versions of libraries
|
||||
- Remove compiler optimisation flags
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
|
||||
any bug report:
|
||||
|
||||
- On Unix systems:
|
||||
Self-test report generated by 'make report'
|
||||
- On other systems:
|
||||
OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
|
||||
OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
|
||||
Compiler Details (name, version)
|
||||
- Application Details (name, version)
|
||||
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
|
||||
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
|
||||
|
||||
Report the bug to the OpenSSL project via the Request Tracker
|
||||
(http://www.openssl.org/support/rt.html) by mail to:
|
||||
|
||||
rt@openssl.org
|
||||
|
||||
In order to avoid spam, this is a moderated mailing list, and it might
|
||||
take a day for the ticket to show up. (We also scan posts to make sure
|
||||
that security disclosures aren't publically posted by mistake.) Mail to
|
||||
this address is recorded in the public RT (request tracker) database (see
|
||||
https://www.openssl.org/support/rt.html for details) and also forwarded
|
||||
the public openssl-dev mailing list. Confidential mail may be sent to
|
||||
openssl-security@openssl.org (PGP key available from the key servers).
|
||||
|
||||
Please do NOT use this for general assistance or support queries.
|
||||
Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
|
||||
is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also make GitHub pull requests. If you do this, please also send
|
||||
mail to rt@openssl.org with a link to the PR so that we can more easily
|
||||
keep track of it.
|
||||
|
||||
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Development is coordinated on the openssl-dev mailing list (see
|
||||
http://www.openssl.org for information on subscribing). If you
|
||||
would like to submit a patch, send it to openssl-bugs@openssl.org with
|
||||
the string "[PATCH]" in the subject. Please be sure to include a
|
||||
textual explanation of what your patch does.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are unsure as to whether a feature will be useful for the general
|
||||
OpenSSL community please discuss it on the openssl-dev mailing list first.
|
||||
Someone may be already working on the same thing or there may be a good
|
||||
reason as to why that feature isn't implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Patches should be as up to date as possible, preferably relative to the
|
||||
current Git or the last snapshot. They should follow our coding style
|
||||
(see http://openssl.org/about/codingstyle.txt) and compile without
|
||||
warnings using the --strict-warnings flag. OpenSSL compiles on many
|
||||
varied platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: For legal reasons, contributions from the US can be accepted only
|
||||
if a TSU notification and a copy of the patch are sent to crypt@bis.doc.gov
|
||||
(formerly BXA) with a copy to the ENC Encryption Request Coordinator;
|
||||
please take some time to look at
|
||||
http://www.bis.doc.gov/Encryption/PubAvailEncSourceCodeNofify.html [sic]
|
||||
and
|
||||
http://w3.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/pdf/740.pdf (EAR Section 740.13(e))
|
||||
for the details. If "your encryption source code is too large to serve as
|
||||
an email attachment", they are glad to receive it by fax instead; hope you
|
||||
have a cheap long-distance plan.
|
||||
|
||||
Our preferred format for changes is "diff -u" output. You might
|
||||
generate it like this:
|
||||
|
||||
# cd openssl-work
|
||||
# [your changes]
|
||||
# ./Configure dist; make clean
|
||||
# cd ..
|
||||
# diff -ur openssl-orig openssl-work > mydiffs.patch
