SSLeay is a free implementation of Netscape's Secure Socket Layer - the software encryption protocol behind the Netscape Secure Server and the Netscape Navigator Browser.
Free shareware developed by RSA Data Securities, which enhances SSL capabilities to offer RSA, DSA and DH algorithms. Also offers Transaction Layer Security (TLS).
A freely available implementation of the SSL protocol and the cryptographic algorithms used by SSL, developed by Eric Young in Australia. Eric Young has now withdrawn from the project and further development is continued under the name OpenSSL by a team of developers.
Secure Socket Layer Eric A. Young (Eric A. Young's Secure Socket Layer). OpenSSL is based on Eric's original SSLeay implementation. The perl implementation of OpenSSL is Net::SSLeay.
SSLeay implements the Netscape's Secure Socket Layer, the encryption protocol for the Netscape Secure web server and the Netscape Navigator browser. it's a free software package which is recognized as one of the leading standards in Internet security. SSLeay uses asymmetric cryptography, based on a Public Key Infrastructure model of an SSL certificate and private key pair.
