About:
OpenSSL is a robust, full-featured open-source toolkit implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. It provides a comprehensive cryptography library for developers to secure network communications and manage digital certificates. Its main value is providing the foundational security infrastructure for countless internet applications.

Key Features:

Implements SSL/TLS protocols for secure communication
Comprehensive cryptography library (symmetric/asymmetric ciphers, hashes)
Command-line utilities for certificate management and testing
Supports a wide range of cryptographic standards

Use Cases:

Securing web servers and APIs with HTTPS
Generating and managing SSL/TLS certificates
Encrypting data in transit between client and server

Alternatives:

LibreSSL – A fork of OpenSSL focused on code simplicity and security, often used in BSD systems.
BoringSSL – Google's fork of OpenSSL, designed for their specific needs with removed legacy features.
