3 | Introduction\r | |
4 | =============================================================================\r | |
5 | OpenSSL is a well-known open source implementation of SSL/TLS protocols.\r | |
6 | The core library implements the cryptographic and SSL/TLS functions and\r | |
7 | also provides various utility functions. The OpenSSL library is widely used\r | |
8 | in variety of security products development as base crypto provider.\r | |
9 | (See http://www.openssl.org/ for more information about OpenSSL).\r | |
10 | UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a specification detailing\r | |
11 | the interfaces between OS and platform firmware. Several security features\r | |
12 | were introduced (e.g. Authenticated Variable Service, Driver Signing, etc)\r | |
13 | from UEFI 2.2 (http://www.uefi.org/). These security features highly depend\r | |
14 | on the cryptography.\r | |
15 | This HOWTO documents OpenSSL building under UEFI/EDKII environment.\r | |

20 | EDKII supports building with the latest release of OpenSSL.\r | |

21 | NOTE: Only latest release version was fully validated.\r |
22 | And no guarantees on build & functionality if using other versions.\r | |

27 | OpenSSL repository was added as one submodule of EDKII project. Please\r |
28 | refer to edk2/Readme.md for how to clone the code.\r | |

31 | About process_files.pl\r | |
32 | =============================================================================\r | |
33 | "process_files.pl" is one Perl script which runs the OpenSSL Configure,\r | |
34 | then processes the resulting file list into our local OpensslLib.inf and\r | |
35 | OpensslLibCrypto.inf.\r | |
36 | This only needs to be done once by the maintainer / developer when\r | |
37 | updating to a new version of OpenSSL (or changing options, etc.).\r | |
38 | Normal users do not need do this, since the results are already stored in\r | |
39 | the EDKII git repository for them.\r |
