OpenSSL Project

The OpenSSL Project is an effort to develop an open-source toolkit that implements the SSL and TLS protocols, as well as a cryptographic library.

The toolkit includes the openssl command-line tool, which enables you to use various functions of the cryptographic library.

The available commands of the openssl tool include the following:

• The pkcs12 command parses or generates a PKCS #12 file.

• The req command creates and processes certificate requests in PKCS #10 format.

You can download the current version of OpenSSL at http://www.openssl.org.
