1 OpenSSL A.00.09.08o.001, A.00.09.08o.002, and A.00.09.08o.003 This document contains the most recent product information for OpenSSL A.00.09.08o.001, A.00.09.08o.002, and A.00.09.08o.003 supported on HP-UX 11i V1, HP-UX 11i V2, and HP-UX 11i V3, respectively. This document contains the following information: • OpenSSL Features • Installing OpenSSL • Using the OpenSSL command-line Tool • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Announcement This version of OpenSSL is based on the open source OpenSSL 0.9.
OpenSSL A.00.09.08o has the following options: ./Configure threads zlib shared no-rc5 no-idea no-krb5 --openssldir=/opt/openssl hpux-cc FIPS Capable OpenSSL (based on OpenSSL A.00.09.07m and linked against FIPS-1.1.2 module) is built with the following options: ./Configure threads zlib shared no-rc5 no-idea no-krb5 no-mdc2 --openssldir=/opt/openssl hpux-cc FIPS Capable OpenSSL (based on OpenSSL A.00.09.08o and linked against FIPS-1.2 module) is built with the following options: .
• Data Encryption Standard (DES) CAUTION: DES has been cracked (data encoded by DES has been decoded by a third party). HP recommends that you use DES only when you are required to do so for compatibility reasons or because of legal restrictions.
Encoding Before a message is sent over a network, the message is encoded such that the receiver can understand the message. OpenSSL A.00.09.07m and A.00.09.08o support the following file formats for encoding keys, certificates, and digitally signed files: • ASN.1 — Abstract Syntax Notation One. • Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) – Stores ASN.1 structures containing keys and certificates. • Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) – Stores keys, certificates, and encrypted files.
OpenSSL components OpenSSL A.00.09.07m and A.00.09.08o contain the following components: • OpenSSL libraries • The openssl command-line tool • Strong Random Number Generator for HP-UX 11i V1 • Automatically generated self-signed host certificate The following sections discuss these components in detail. OpenSSL libraries OpenSSL A.00.09.07m and A.00.09.08o contain two libraries: libcrypto and libssl.

The Openssl command-line tool The openssl command-line tool is an interactive tool that enables you to execute cryptographic functions. It supports the following features: • Creating and viewing secret keys • Encrypting or decrypting files using secret-key ciphers • Calculating message digests for files • Creating and viewing RSA, DSA, and DH public keys • Encrypting or decrypting a file using a public key or private key, respectively • Creating X.

This command creates a 3DES-encrypted 1024-bit key pair stored in the file key.txt. The encryption is done using the pass phrase supplied by the user. Viewing an RSA key pair Following is the syntax to view an RSA key pair: # openssl rsa -in -noout -text For example: # openssl genrsa -des3 -out key.pem 1024. This command displays the modulus, exponent, and prime key values of the key pair stored in the key.pem file. If the key pair stored in key.
TIP: The most recent version of OpenSSL is available at: http://www.software.hp.com Learning about OpenSSL technology A large volume of information exists on the Internet about OpenSSL technology. HP recommends that you learn more about OpenSSL by reading O'Reilly's book Network Security with OpenSSL: Cryptography for Secure Communications by John Viega, Matt Messier, and Pravir Chandra. You can order this book from http://www.oreilly.
OpenSSL. The /opt/openssl/switchversion.sh script switches between these two versions. To change the version of OpenSSL, execute the script as follows: # /opt/openssl/switchversion.sh 5 You can also choose to switch the openssl.cnf file based on the version of OpenSSL. However this is not necessary. How does the performance of OpenSSL A.00.09.08o compare to the Open Source version 0.9.7m or 0.9.8g respectively? The two products have the same base source code.
• OpenSSL A.00.09.07d (based on OpenSSL Open Source version 0.9.7d) • OpenSSL A.00.09.07e (based on OpenSSL Open Source version 0.9.7e) • OpenSSL A.00.09.07i (based on OpenSSL Open Source version 0.9.7i) • OpenSSL A.00.09.07l (based on OpenSSL Open Source version 0.9.7l) A few patch updates are available for these releases of OpenSSL. A patch release typically has the same base version number (for example, A.00.09.07m) with a patch number appended to it (for example, A.00.09.07m.009).

Consider a client-server application sending and receiving unencrypted data over the network. You now want to achieve a higher level of security for your application. The following methods describe how to use OpenSSL technology to encrypt client/server communication: • You can modify client and server code using OpenSSL functions. This method gives you the highest degree of flexibility and control regarding the features and how you implement them.
