- =head1 NAME
- crypto - OpenSSL cryptographic library
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
- The OpenSSL B<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.
- =head1 OVERVIEW
- B<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.

- =head1 NOTES
- Some of the newer functions follow a naming convention using the numbers
- B<0> and B<1>. For example the functions:
- int X509_CRL_add0_revoked(X509_CRL *crl, X509_REVOKED *rev);
- int X509_add1_trust_object(X509 *x, ASN1_OBJECT *obj);
- The B<0> 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> would be freed but B<rev> would not.
- The B<1> 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> and B<obj> above) should be freed up.
