=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The OpenSSL B<crypto> library implements a wide range of cryptographic
|
|
algorithms used in various Internet standards. The services provided
|
|
by this library are used by the OpenSSL implementations of SSL, TLS
|
|
and S/MIME, and they have also been used to implement SSH, OpenPGP, and
|
|
other cryptographic standards.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OVERVIEW
|
|
|
|
B<libcrypto> consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the
|
|
individual algorithms.
|
|
|
|
The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key
|
|
cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic
|
|
hash functions and a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator.

=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers
|
|
B<0> and B<1>. For example the functions:
|
|
|
|
int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev);
|
|
int X509_add1_trust_object(X509 *x, ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
|
|
|
|
The B<0> version uses the supplied structure pointer directly
|
|
in the parent and it will be freed up when the parent is freed.
|
|
In the above example B<crl> would be freed but B<rev> would not.
|
|
|
|
The B<1> function uses a copy of the supplied structure pointer
|
|
(or in some cases increases its link count) in the parent and
|
|
so both (B<x> and B<obj> above) should be freed up.
