Summary: OpenSSL ENGINE interface modules
Description:
The OpenSSL toolkit provides support for secure communications between machines. OpenSSL includes a certificate management tool and shared libraries which provide various cryptographic algorithms and protocols. With OpenSSL 0.9.6, a new component was added to support alternative cryptography implementations, most commonly for interfacing with external crypto devices (eg. accelerator cards). This component is called ENGINE, and its presence in OpenSSL 0.9.6 (and subsequent bug-fix releases) caused a little confusion as 0.9.6** releases were rolled in two versions, a "standard" and an "engine" version. In development for 0.9.7, the ENGINE code has been merged into the main branch and is present in the standard releases from 0.9.7 forwards. There are currently following built-in ENGINE implementations: - 4758cca: IBM 4758 CCA hardware support; - aep: Aep hardware support; - atalla: Atalla hardware support; - chil: CHIL hardware support; - cswift: CryptoSwift hardware support; - gost: GOST (Russian cryptography standard) implementation; - nuron: Nuron hardware support; - padlock: VIA PadLock ACE support; - sureware: SureWare hardware support; - ubsec: UBSEC hardware support. In addition, dynamic binding to external ENGINE implementations is provided by a special ENGINE called "dynamic".
