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.

openssl-provider-fips

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

This package contains the FIPS provider. The OpenSSL FIPS provider is a special provider that conforms to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) specified in FIPS 140-2. This ‘module’ contains an approved set of cryptographic algorithms that is validated by an accredited testing laboratory. For details see OSSL_PROVIDER-fips and fips_module man page.

Installed size: 3.02 MB
How to install: sudo apt install openssl-provider-fips

Dependencies:
  • libc6

openssl-provider-legacy

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

This package contains the legacy provider. The OpenSSL legacy provider supplies OpenSSL implementations of algorithms that have been deemed legacy. Such algorithms have commonly fallen out of use, have been deemed insecure by the cryptography community, or something similar. For details see OSSL_PROVIDER-legacy man page.
