libcrypto and libssl libraries that includes the
RSA algorithm from the RSAREF implementation.
This version is for noncommercial use IN THE USA ONLY.*
These two OpenBSD libraries (libssl and libcrypto, based on OpenSSL)
implement many cryptographic functions which are used by OpenBSD
programs like ssh, httpd, and isakmpd. Due to patent licensing
reasons, those libraries may not be included on the CD -- instead the
base distribution contains libraries which have had the troublesome
code removed -- the programs listed above will not be fully functional
as a result. Libraries which _include_ the troublesome routines are
in this package, and may be used as long as you meet the follow
(legal) criteria:
(1) Outside the USA: Do NOT use this package.
Use ssl-<version> instead.
(2) Inside the USA: non-commercial entities may the install
the ssl-<version>-USA package which includes RSAREF (This
package).
(3) Commercial entities in the USA are left in the cold, due to how
the licences work. (This is how the USA crypto export policy
feels to the rest of the world.)
