CCISSF uses OpenSSL, which is a consortium open source facility. For more information, see http://www.openssl.org. Use of OpenSSL provides standards-based encryption and authentication for the sender and receiver.
In OpenSSL, authentication is achieved through certificates. Certificates contain data about the local host that the remote host can use to determine whether the local host is authentic. This mechanism ensures that the communicating partner is who the partner claims to be.
Secure Sockets Layer functionality is provided by dynamically loading available OpenSSL libraries. These libraries must be available on all installed machines. The minimum version requirement of OpenSSL to be used with CCISSF is OpenSSL Version 0.9.7. It is your responsibility to obtain a version of OpenSSL that is consistent with your needs and planned deployment. For your convenience, a version of OpenSSL will be installed with CAICCI.
