crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library
!!SYNOPSIS
!!DESCRIPTION


The OpenSSL __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.
!!OVERVIEW


__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.
