NNAAMMEE
       crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       The OpenSSL ccrryyppttoo library implements a wide range of
       cryptographic algorithms used in various Internet stan-
       dards. 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.

OOVVEERRVVIIEEWW
       lliibbccrryyppttoo 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.
