The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
|
|
|
|
commercial-grade, full-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.
