  OpenSSL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OpenSSL 0.9.7 was released on December 31, 2002.
OpenSSL 0.9.6 was released on September 25, 2000.
An alternative to this workaround, suggested by the OpenSSL Project in their FAQ, is to provide a dual license: allow users to choose to use your program under either the GPL (without OpenSSL) or a license that is compatible with the OpenSSL license.

 oreilly.com -- Online Catalog: Network Security with OpenSSL
OpenSSL is a popular and effective open source version of SSL/TLS, the most widely used protocol for secure network communications.
The OpenSSL library is seeing widespread adoption for web sites that require cryptographic functions to protect a broad range of sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and other financial transactions.
Although OpenSSL is written in C, information on how to use OpenSSL with Perl, Python and PHP is also included.

 Security Alert: Remote Buffer Overflows in OpenSSL
OpenSSL is subject to four remotely exploitable buffer overflows, as well as problems in the ASN.1 encoding library (included in the OpenSSL distribution) [2,3].
To summarize, OpenSSL servers are subject to the SSLv2 handshake buffer overflow, the SSLv3 with Kerberos buffer overflow, the ASCII representation buffer overflow, and the ASN.1 denial-of-service exposure.
OpenSSL clients are subject to the SSLv3 handshake buffer overflow, the ASCII representation buffer overflow, and the ASN.1 denial-of-service exposure.

 Alexandra Vidas' Distributed Systems Installation: OpenSSL
OpenSSL is a toolkit that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols, paired with a cryptography library.
OpenSSL is used to generate and define certificates and cryptographic parameters, including public and private keys.
It is also worth noting that due to the way Red Hat supplies its packages, updates to openssl on each distribution never change the package version, only the build number.

OpenSSL is a higher level, open-source alternative that allows you to easily add the security of an SSL connection to TCP/IP clients and servers.
The OpenSSL Project (www.openssl.org) is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, cross-platform, and open-source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS v1).
The OpenSSL toolkit BIO interface includes a method of accessing the internal BIO data buffer directly, rather than passing in a new buffer for the data to be copied into or out of.

 CERT Advisory CA-2002-23 Multiple Vulnerabilities In OpenSSL
OpenSSL clients using SSLv3 prior to version 0.9.6e and pre-release version 0.9.7-beta2 contain a buffer overflow vulnerability.
Although these vulnerabilities affect OpenSSL, other implementations of the SSL protocol that use or share a common code base may be affected.
OpenSSL advisory as well, sites running OpenSSL 0.9.6d servers on 32-bit platforms with SSLv2 handshaking disabled will not be affected by any of the buffer overflows described above.

DESCRIPTION ----------- The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.
OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed from Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson.
The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under a dual-license (the OpenSSL license plus the SSLeay license) situation, which basically means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes as long as you fulfill the conditions of both licenses.

 Secure programming with the OpenSSL API, Part 1: Overview of the API
If the latest version of OpenSSL is not available for your distribution, then it is recommended that the only files you overwrite are the libraries, not the executable.
OpenSSL uses an abstraction library called BIO to handle communication of various kinds, including files and sockets, both secure and not.
You can download OpenSSL sources from the OpenSSL Project; be sure also to check on the current state of documentation.

The openssl program is a command line tool for using the various cryptog- raphy functions of OpenSSL's crypto library from the shell.
openssl enc -ciphername [-AadePp] [-debug] [-engine id] [-nopad] [-nosalt] [-salt] [-bufsize number] [-in file] [-iv IV] [-K key] [-k password] [-kfile file] [-out file] [-pass arg] [-S salt] The symmetric cipher commands allow data to be encrypted or decrypted us- ing various block and stream ciphers using keys based on passwords or ex- plicitly provided.
openssl nseq [-toseq] [-in file] [-out file] The nseq command takes a file containing a Netscape certificate sequence and prints out the certificates contained in it or takes a file of cer- tificates and converts it into a Netscape certificate sequence.

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, fully featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) as well as a full-strength general-purpose cryptography library.
It means that OpenSSL is becoming a non-free software project, because the code from Sun contains licenses which invoke patent litigation; the licence on the new code basically builds a contract that says "if you use this code, you cannot sue Sun".
OpenSSL is easy to setup and use and compiles on a variety of systems.

 ISS X-Force Database: openssl-ssl2-masterkey-bo(9714): OpenSSL SSL2 master key buffer overflow
OpenSSL is an open-source implementation of the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols that is included with many Linux distributions.
OpenSSL versions 0.9.6d and earlier, 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, and the current development snapshots of 0.9.7 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper handling of SSL2 client master keys.
CVE-2002-0656: Buffer overflows in OpenSSL 0.9.6d and earlier, and 0.9.7-beta2 and earlier, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a large client master key in SSL2 or (2) a large session ID in SSL3.

This is because the openssl library now requires you to load your ciphers manually -- all ciphers are not automatically loaded for you.
The openssl functions were disabled in Debian release 3.0 (woody), but as of release 3.1 (sarge) they're available again.
Debian maintainers have disabled the openssl support because it seems to help break apache on startup.

The OpenSSL candidate is a toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library.
It may not be possible to create a highly sophisticated OpenSSL application without using full type information since not every detail of the library is available through accessor functions, however the common case appears to be well covered with accessor functions.
At least one person - Paul Mackay has asked for a review on GnuTLS vs openssl although he seemed very reasonable in admitting that openssl was being adopted as it was de facto being used by many distributions.
