What is OpenSSL

A quick introduction is provided for OpenSSL, which is cryptography toolkit to support testing of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols, as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

What Is OpenSSL? OpenSSL is a cryptography toolkit implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.

OpenSSL toolkit can be accessed from its command line interface to perform functionalities provided from the OpenSSL cryptography library. The command line tool can be used for:

The current version of OpenSSL is 1.0.2e released on 03-Dec-2015.
