OpenSSL
OpenSSL is an open-source library for Transport Layer Security and general-purpose Cryptography.
Overview
OpenSSL consists of two separate libraries: libcrypto and libssl. libcrypto is a general-purpose cryptography library which can be used alone. libssl is a TLS library which depends on libcrypto. OpenSSL also comes with an "openssl" command-line program, which can be used to exercise much of the functionality of the library from the command line.
libcrypto
libcrypto is the portion of OpenSSL for performing general-purpose cryptography, which can be used without libssl.
