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
Administrivia
Site guidelines, legal and admininstrative issues.
- Basic rules, Commercial Product Disclaimer, Contributions, Copyright, License
- Using This Wiki
Reference
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.
- OpenSSL Manual Pages
- If you wish to edit any of the Manual page content please refer to the Guidelines for Manual Page Authors page.
Usage and Programming
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
- STACK API
- Low Level APIs
- Creating an OpenSSL Engine to use indigenous ECDH ECDSA and HASH Algorithms
- More specialized non-EVP usage
Concepts and Theory
Discussions of basic cryptographic theory and concepts Discussions of common operational issues
Security Advisories
Feedback and Contributions
- How to notify us of suspected security vulnerabilities
- How to report bugs and patches, 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-dev 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
This section is for internal details of primary interest to OpenSSL maintainers and power users
- Internals
- Code Quality
- Static and Dynamic Analysis
- OCB Licence details
- Defect and Feature Review Process
- Unit Testing (includes other automated testing information)
