Introduction

The OpenSSL ssl library implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols. The library functions are used by OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS and S/MIME. In addition, they are used in well-known software such as SSH, OpenPGP, and others.

See also: the libssl API.
