Package: openssl (3.3.2-2)

Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility

This package is part of the OpenSSL project's implementation of the SSL and TLS cryptographic protocols for secure communication over the Internet.

It contains the general-purpose command line binary /usr/bin/openssl, useful for cryptographic operations such as:

 * creating RSA, DH, and DSA key parameters;
 * creating X.509 certificates, CSRs, and CRLs;
 * calculating message digests;
 * encrypting and decrypting with ciphers;
 * testing SSL/TLS clients and servers;
 * handling S/MIME signed or encrypted mail.
