<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>
<p>crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<p>See the individual manual pages for details.</p>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The OpenSSL <b>crypto</b> 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.</p>
<p><b>libcrypto</b> consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the individual algorithms.</p>
<p>The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic hash functions, cryptographic pseudo-random number generator, and various utilities.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers <b>0</b> and <b>1</b>. For example the functions:</p>
<pre><code> int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev);
int X509_add1_trust_object(X509 *x, const ASN1_OBJECT *obj);</code></pre>
<p>The <b>0</b> version uses the supplied structure pointer directly in the parent and it will be freed up when the parent is freed. In the above example <b>crl</b> would be freed but <b>rev</b> would not.</p>
<p>The <b>1</b> function uses a copy of the supplied structure pointer (or in some cases increases its link count) in the parent and so both (<b>x</b> and <b>obj</b> above) should be freed up.</p>
