This is the OpenSSL wiki. The main site is https://www.openssl.org . If this is your first visit or to get an account please see the Welcome page. Your participation and Contributions are valued.

This wiki is intended as a place for collecting, organizing, and refining useful information about OpenSSL that is currently strewn among multiple locations and formats.

OpenSSL Quick Links[edit]

OpenSSL Overview	Compilation and Installation	Configuration "packages"	Internals
libcrypto API	libssl API	Examples	Index of all API functions
License	Command Line Utilities	Related Links	Binaries
SSL and TLS Protocols	1.1 API Changes	FIPS modules	TLS1.3
Mailing Lists	OpenSSL 3.0

Administrivia[edit]

Site guidelines, legal and admininstrative issues.

Basic rules, Commercial Product Disclaimer, Contributions, Copyright, License
Using This Wiki

Wiki User's Guide, Configuration settings list, MediaWiki FAQ, MediaWiki Mailing List

Reference[edit]

This section contains the automagically generated man pages from the OpenSSL git repository, and similar "man" style reference documentation. The man pages are automatically imported from the OpenSSL git repository and local wiki modifications are submitted as patches.

Usage and Programming[edit]

This section has discussions of practical issues in using OpenSSL

Building from Source

Where to find it, the different versions, how to build and install it.

Programming techniques and example code

Use of EVP is preferred for most applications and circumstances

Creating an OpenSSL Engine to use indigenous ECDH ECDSA and HASH Algorithms

More specialized non-EVP usage

Diffie-Hellman parameters

Concepts and Theory[edit]

Discussions of basic cryptographic theory and concepts Discussions of common operational issues

Security Advisories[edit]

Feedback and Contributions[edit]

How to notify us of suspected security vulnerabilities
How to report bugs, other than for suspected vulnerabilities
General background on source and documentation contributions - must read
Contributing code fixes, other than for suspected vulnerabilities, as well as fixes and other improvements to manual pages:

If you are unsure as to whether a feature will be useful for the general OpenSSL community please discuss it on the openssl-users mailing list first. Someone may be already working on the same thing or there may be a good reason as to why that feature isn't implemented.
Follow the instructions for accessing source code in the appropriate branches. Note that manual pages and the FAQ are maintained with the source code.
Submit a pull request for each separate fix (also documented there)
Submit a bug report (see second bullet, above) and reference the pull request. Or you can attach the patch to the ticket.

Contributing fixes and other improvements to the web site

Follow the instructions for accessing web site sources
Create a patch (also documented there)
Submit a bug report and add the patch as an attachment

Internals and Development[edit]

This section is for internal details of primary interest to OpenSSL maintainers and power users

Code reformatting

Internals
Code Quality
Static and Dynamic Analysis
OCB Licence details
Defect and Feature Review Process
Unit Testing (includes other automated testing information)
How to Integrate a Symmetric Cipher

+This wiki is intended as a place for collecting, organizing, and refining useful information about OpenSSL that is currently strewn among multiple locations and formats.
-from source. Fips is compiled into Apache statically. This includes the steps
-to compile the FIPS module and Openssl. I build a prefork Apache2 because I use
-a shared PHP5 module.
-Install the latest FIPS OpenSSL (below steps)

-in /usr/local/ssl/lib there will be two "linked" files

-libcrypto.so.1.0.0 -> libcrypto.so
+:* [[Unit Testing]] (includes other automated testing information)
+:* [[How to Integrate a Symmetric Cipher]]
-libssl.so.1.0.0 -> libssl.so
-Some applications need those link references so I
-copy all the files (not linked libcrypto.so libssl.so) to
-a new shared directory /usr/local/ssl/lib/shared
-recreate the links in shared to libcrypto.so and libssl.so
-ln -s /usr/local/ssl/lib/shared/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/local/ssl/lib/shared/libcrypto.so
-ln -s /usr/local/ssl/lib/shared/libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/local/ssl/lib/shared/libssl.so
-Remove the links in /usr/local/ssl/lib
-rm libcrypto.so
-rm libssl.so
-The shared directory is used for application linking.
-A direct compile for a FIPS application using: -L/usr/local/ssl/lib
-Will fail if libcrypto.so and libssl.so links are still in /usr/local/ssl/lib
-in /home/username (your working directory)
-Download httpd.2.4.18.tar.gz
-Download pcre-8.38.tar.gz
-Download apr-1.5.2.tar.gz
-Download apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz
-gunzip httpd.2.4.18.tar.gz
-gunzip pcre-8.38.tar.gz
-gunzip apr-1.5.2.tar.gz
-gunzip apr-util-1.5.4.gz
-Install PCRE
-tar -xvf pcre-8.38.tar
-cd /home/username/pcre-8.38
-./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pcre
-make
-make install
-Install Apache2(httpd) with apr
-tar -xvf httpd.2.4.18.tar
-cd httpd.2.4.18
-cd srclib (subdirectory)
-cp /home/username/apr-1.5.2.tar
-cp /home/username/apr-util-1.5.4.tar
-tar -xvf apr-1.5.2.tar
-tar -xvf apr-util-1.5.4.tar
-create two links - they are needed when apache compiles
-ln -s apr-1.5.2 apr
-ln -s apr-util-1.5.4 apr-util
-cd .. (back to /home/username/httpd.2.4.18)
-NOTE:
-the --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps and --enable-mods-static=ssl
-are to compile the Openssl module STATIC not shared.
-If you leave them out, it will properly create a working apache2
-server EXCEPT when you enable the "SSLFIPS on" in httpd.conf, then
-apache2 will not start and you will get a FIPS fingerprint error
-in the logs/error_log file.
-Procedure below is to compile OpenSSL as a static module in apache2
-The two export(s) below sets the proper FIPS fingerprint variables.
-The configure compiles a STATIC Openssl (mod_ssl.so) into Apache2.
-export CC=/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/bin/fipsld
-export FIPSLD_CC=/usr/bin/gcc
-execute configure with switches a space between each switch
-./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2
-	    --with-mpm=prefork
-	    --enable-ssl
-	    --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
-	    --enable-ssl-staticlib-deps
-	    --enable-mods-static=ssl
-	    --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre
-	    --with-included-apr
-make
-make install
-I need PHP(with mysql) - so I built the share module libphp5.so
-and placed a copy in /usr/local/apache2/modules/
-In the httpd.conf file "Loadmodule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so"
-has to be commented out. In a shared version it must be active.
-The --with-mpm=prefork option allows me to use a compiled shared
-PHP5 module, the "event"(threaded) version didn't load PHP properly.
-There are some other changes needed in the httpd.conf file (on internet)
-on allowing Apache2 to recognize the .php extension.
-to start: 	/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
-to stop:	/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop
-Start apache and confirm it is running.
