________________________________________________________________________________

OpenSSL is a software library for applications that secure communications over
computer networks against eavesdropping or need to identify the party at the
other end. It is widely used by Internet servers, including the majority of
HTTPS websites.

OpenSSL contains an open-source implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols.
The core library, written in the C programming language, implements basic
cryptographic functions and provides various utility functions. Wrappers
allowing the use of the OpenSSL library in a variety of computer languages are
available. [0]
