.SH "NAME"
crypto \- OpenSSL cryptographic library
.SH "LIBRARY"
libcrypto, -lcrypto
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The OpenSSL \fBcrypto\fR 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.
.SH "OVERVIEW"
\fBlibcrypto\fR consists of a number of sub-libraries that implement the
individual algorithms.
.PP
The functionality includes symmetric encryption, public key
cryptography and key agreement, certificate handling, cryptographic
hash functions and a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator.

.LP
On NetBSD system,
\fIidea(3)\fR and \fIrc5(3)\fR are not shipped in the standard
\fBcrypto\fR library.
To use these algorithms, you need to build
\fBcrypto_idea\fR and \fBcrypto_rc5\fR separately,
and link your applications against them.
