NAME

crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library

SYNOPSIS

TBA

DESCRIPTION

The OpenSSL crypto library implements a wide range of cryptographic algorithms used in various Internet standards. 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. The libcrypto consists of a number of sublibraries 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. · SYMMETRIC CIPHERS blowfish(3), cast(3), des(3), idea(3), rc2(3), rc4(3), rc5(3) · PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY AND KEY AGREEMENT dsa(3), dh(3), rsa(3) · CERTIFICATES x509(3), x509v3(3) · AUTHENTICATION CODES, HASH FUNCTIONS hmac(3), md2(3) md4(3) md5(3) mdc2(3), ripemd(3), sha(3) · AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS err(3), threads(3), rand_ssl(3), OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER(3) · INPUT/OUTPUT, DATA ENCODING asn1(3) bio(3), evp(3), pem(3), pkcs7(3), pkcs12(3) · INTERNAL FUNCTIONS bn(3), buffer(3), lhash(3), objects(3), stack(3), txt_db(3)
