| 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 |
