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:
MDC2, RC3, RC5, IDEA, ECC, Dynamic Engine Loading, CSWIFT Engine, nCi‐
pher Engine, Atalla Engine, NURON Engine, UBSEC Engine, AEP Engine,
Sureware Engine, and 4758_CCA 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 off loaded to the Crypto‐
graphic Framework through the PKCS#11 engine on a given machine, run
the following 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, use the following cc command line
options:
cc [ flag... ] file... -I/usr/sfw/include -lcrypto -lssl \
-L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib [ library... ]
Extensive additional documentation for OpenSSL modules is available in
the /usr/sfw/share/man directory. This documentation can be viewed with
man(1) by including /usr/sfw/share/man in the MANPATH environment vari‐
able. Running catman(1M) on the OpenSSL manual pages is not supported.
