README
1This directory contains modified crypto code from OpenSSL
21.0.0.beta5. Please see the OpenSSL license from that release in the
3OPENSSL-LICENSE which will apply if this code is selected.

5Net-SNMP may be compiled with this code using the
6--with-openssl=internal flag to the configure command line.

8Note: It is generally a better idea to link with the latest OpenSSL
9library rather than rely on this internal support, as the latest
10OpenSSL code may contain important security or other fixes that may
11not have been incorporated into this snapshot. Small device vendors,
12however, have requested a stripped down version of the OpenSSL
13cryptography code in order to shrink their memory footprint and this
14feature provides such support.
15
16Note also that the new SNMP over DTLS, SNMP over TLS support also
17available in Net-SNMP 5.6 and beyond is incompatible with the internal
18version of the OpenSSL support since SNMP over (D)TLS requires the
19full TLS support available in OpenSSL.
