The services provided -by this library are used by the OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS -and S/MIME, and they have also been used to implement SSH, OpenPGP, and -other cryptographic standards. - -=head1 OVERVIEW - -B<libcrypto> consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the -individual algorithms. - -The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key -cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic -hash functions and a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator. - -=over 4 - -=item SYMMETRIC CIPHERS - -L<blowfish(3)|blowfish(3)>, L<cast(3)|cast(3)>, L<des(3)|des(3)>, -L<idea(3)|idea(3)>, L<rc2(3)|rc2(3)>, L<rc4(3)|rc4(3)>, L<rc5(3)|rc5(3)> - -=item PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY AND KEY AGREEMENT - -L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<dh(3)|dh(3)>, L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)> - -=item CERTIFICATES - -L<x509(3)|x509(3)>, L<x509v3(3)|x509v3(3)> - -=item AUTHENTICATION CODES, HASH FUNCTIONS - -L<hmac(3)|hmac(3)>, L<md2(3)|md2(3)>, L<md4(3)|md4(3)>, -L<md5(3)|md5(3)>, L<mdc2(3)|mdc2(3)>, L<ripemd(3)|ripemd(3)>, -L<sha(3)|sha(3)> - -=item AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS - -L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<threads(3)|threads(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, -L<OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER(3)|OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER(3)> - -=item INPUT/OUTPUT, DATA ENCODING - -L<asn1(3)|asn1(3)>, L<bio(3)|bio(3)>, L<evp(3)|evp(3)>, L<pem(3)|pem(3)>, -L<pkcs7(3)|pkcs7(3)>, L<pkcs12(3)|pkcs12(3)> - -=item INTERNAL FUNCTIONS - -L<bn(3)|bn(3)>, L<buffer(3)|buffer(3)>, L<lhash(3)|lhash(3)>, -L<objects(3)|objects(3)>, L<stack(3)|stack(3)>, -L<txt_db(3)|txt_db(3)> - -=back - -=head1 NOTES - -Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers -B<0> and B<1>. For example the functions: - - int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev); - int X509_add1_trust_object(X509 *x, ASN1_OBJECT *obj); - -The B<0> version uses the supplied structure pointer directly -in the parent and it will be freed up when the parent is freed. -In the above example B<crl> would be freed but B<rev> would not. - -The B<1> function uses a copy of the supplied structure pointer -(or in some cases increases its link count) in the parent and -so both (B<x> and B<obj> above) should be freed up. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<openssl(1)|openssl(1)>, L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)> - -=cut |
