OpenSSL

The OpenSSL is a collaborative project to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library. The project is managed by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related documentation. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an Apache-style licence, which means that you are free to get and subject to some simple license conditions.
