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

+=============================================================================\r
+ OpenSSL-Version\r
+=============================================================================\r
+ EDKII supports building with the latest release of OpenSSL.\r
+ The latest official release is OpenSSL-1.1.0e (Released at 2017-Feb-16).\r
+ NOTE: Only latest release version was fully validated.\r
+ And no guarantees on build & functionality if using other versions.\r

+ HOW to Install OpenSSL for UEFI Building\r
+=============================================================================\r
+1. Clone the latest official OpenSSL release into the directory\r
+ CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/\r
+\r
+ Use OpenSSL-1.1.0e release as one example:\r
+ (OpenSSL_1_1_0e below is the tag name for the OpenSSL-1.1.0e release)\r
+ > cd CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib\r
+ > git clone -b OpenSSL_1_1_0e https://github.com/openssl/openssl openssl\r
+ or\r
+ > git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl openssl\r
+ > git checkout OpenSSL_1_1_0e\r
+Or\r
+2. Download the latest OpenSSL release package from the official website:\r
+ https://www.openssl.org/source/\r
+ and unpack the OpenSSL source into:\r
+ CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/\r

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