DESCRIPTION
OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit that implements the Secure Sockets
Layer (SSLv2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) network proto‐
cols.
The following features are omitted from the binaries for issues includ‐
ing but not limited to patents, trademark, and US export restrictions:
ECC, IDEA, MDC2, RC3, RC5, Dynamic Engine Loading, 4758_CCA Engine,
AEP Engine, Atalla Engine, CHIL Engine, CSWIFT Engine, GMP Engine,
NURON Engine, PadLock Engine, Sureware Engine, and UBSEC Engine.
A new PKCS#11 engine has been included with ENGINE name "pkcs11". The
engine was developed in Sun and is not integrated in the OpenSSL
project.
The PKCS#11 engine is configured to use the Solaris Cryptographic
Framework. See cryptoadm(1M) for configuration information.
The PKCS#11 engine can support the following set of mechanisms:
CKM_AES_CBC, CKM_AES_ECB, CKM_BLOWFISH_CBC, CKM_DES_CBC, CKM_DES_ECB,
CKM_DES3_CBC, CKM_DES3_ECB, CKM_DSA, CKM_MD5, CKM_RC4, CKM_RSA_PKCS,
CKM_RSA_X_509, CKM_SHA_1, CKM_SHA224, CKM_SHA256, CKM_SHA384, and
CKM_SHA512.
The set of mechanisms available depends on installed Crypto Framework
providers. To see what mechanisms can be offloaded to the Cryptographic
Framework through the PKCS#11 engine on a given machine, run the fol‐
lowing command:
/usr/sfw/bin/openssl engine -vvv -t -c
Due to requirements of the PKCS#11 standard regarding fork(2) behavior,
some applications that use the OpenSSL EVP interfaces and fork() with
active crypto contexts might experience unexpected behavior.
To build an OpenSSL application, install and use the OpenSSL in
pkgsrc(7). Compilation symlinks and headers are not provided for the
platform OpenSSL to avoid library symbol conflicts.
Extensive additional documentation for OpenSSL modules is available in
the /usr/share/man/man1openssl, /usr/share/man/man3openssl,
/usr/share/man/man5openssl, and /usr/share/man/man7openssl directories.
