``Ralf Engelschall has released an
mod_ssl - Apache Interface to SSLeay excellent module that integrates
http://www.engelschall.com/sw/mod_ssl/ Apache and SSLeay.''
Version 2.1.0-1.3.3 Tim J. Hudson, SSLeay co-author
This Apache module provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver
via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS
v1) protocols by the help of the SSL/TLS implementation library SSLeay from
Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The mod_ssl package was created in April
1998 by Ralf S. Engelschall and was originally derived from software
developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Apache-SSL HTTP server project.
As a summary, here are its main features:
o Open-Source software (BSD-style license)
o Useable for both commercial and non-commercial use
o Available for both Unix and Win32 platforms
o 128-bit strong cryptography world-wide
o Support for SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols
o Clean reviewable ANSI C source code
o Clean Apache module architecture
o Integrates seamlessly into Apache through an Extended API (EAPI)
o Full Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support
o Support for the SSLeay+RSAref US-situation
o Advanced pass-phrase handling for private keys
o X.509 certificate based authentication for both client and server
o Additional boolean-expression based access control facility
o Backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions
o Inter-process SSL session cache
o Powerful dedicated SSL engine logging facility
o Simple and robust application to Apache source trees
o Fully integrated into the Apache 1.3 configuration mechanism
o Additional integration into the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI)
o Assistance in X.509 v3 certificate generation
