=head1 DESCRIPTION
The OpenSSL B<ssl> library implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols. It provides a rich API which is
documented here.
The OpenSSL B<ssl> library implements several versions of the
Secure Sockets Layer, Transport Layer Security, and Datagram Transport Layer
Security protocols.
This page gives a brief overview of the extensive API and data types
provided by the library.
An B<SSL_CTX> object is created as a framework to establish
TLS/SSL enabled connections (see L<SSL_CTX_new(3)>).

=item B<ssl.h>

This is the common header file for the SSL/TLS API. Include it into your
program to make the API of the B<ssl> library available. It internally
includes both more private SSL headers and headers from the B<crypto> library.
Whenever you need hard-core details on the internals of the SSL API, look
inside this header file.
This file also includes the others listed below.
=item B<ssl2.h>
=item F<< <openssl/ssl2.h> >>
Unused. Present for backwards compatibility only.
=item B<ssl3.h>
=item F<< <openssl/ssl3.h> >>
This is the sub header file dealing with the SSLv3 protocol only.
I<Usually you don't have to include it explicitly because
it's already included by ssl.h>.
=item B<tls1.h>
=item F<< <openssl/tls1.h> >>
This is the sub header file dealing with the TLSv1 protocol only.
