At long last! This is Eric Young's SSL library. The DES routines
are not part of this build as they are part of mainstram FreeBSD. Please will a certificates expert check out the certificates location.

+This is Eric Young's SSL and Crypto library. It includes
+
+libssl.a:
+ An implementation of Netscapes SSL v 2 protocol. This library
+ implements the SSL protocol.
+
+libcrypto.a:
+ General encryption and X509 stuff needed by SSL but not
+ actually logically part of it. It includes routines for the following:
+ RC4 encryption,
+ IDEA encryption - 4 different modes, ecb, cbc, cfb and ofb.
+ MD5 and MD2 message digest algorithms,
+ SHA (SHA-0) and SHA-1 message digest algorithms,
+ RSA encryption/decryption/key generation. There is no limit
+ on the number of bits.
+ Diffie-Hellman key-exchange/key generation. There is no limit
+ on the number of bits.
+ X509 encoding/decoding into/from binary ASN1 and a
+ PEM based ascii-binary encoding which supports encryption with
+ a private key.
+ (The DES routines, while a part if this source distribution
+ are not included in the compiled package, as they are part
+ of the base FreeBSD secure/ distribution)
+
+Programs in this package include
+ enc - a general encryption program that can encrypt/decrypt using
+ one of 17 different cipher/mode combinations. The
+ input/output can also be converted to/from base64
+ ascii encoding.
+ dgst - a generate message digesting program that will generate
+ message digests for any of md2, md5, sha (sha-0) or sha-1.
+ asn1parse - parse and display the structure of an asn1 encoded
+ binary file.
+ rsa - Manipulate RSA private keys.
+ dh - Manipulate Diffie-Hellman parameter files.
+ crl - Manipulate certificate revocation lists.
+ x509 - Manipulate x509 certificates, self-sign certificates.
+ req - Manipulate PKCS#10 certificate requests and also
+ generate certificate requests.
+ genrsa - Generates an arbitrary sized RSA private key.
+ gendh - Generates a set of Diffie-Hellman parameters, the prime
+ will be a strong prime.
+ ca - Create certificates from PKCS#10 certificate requests.
+ This program also maintains a database of certificates
+ issued.
+ verify - Check x509 certificate signatures.
+ speed - Benchmark SSLeay's ciphers.
+ s_server - A test SSL server.
+ s_client - A test SSL client.
+ s_time - Benchmark SSL performance of SSL server programs.
