mod_ssl Description

The mod_ssl project provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver. mod_ssl 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 Open Source SSL/TLS toolkit OpenSSL, which is based on SSLeay from Eric A.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. The mod_ssl package is licensed under a BSD-style license, which basically means that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial purposes.Here are some key features of "mod_ssl":· Open Source software (BSD-style license)· Useable for both commercial and non-commercial use· Available for both Unix and Win32 platforms· 128-bit strong cryptography world-wide· Support for SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols· Support for both RSA and Diffie-Hellman ciphers· Clean reviewable ANSI C source code· Clean Apache module architecture· Integrates seamlessly into Apache through an Extended API (EAPI)· Full Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support· Support for the OpenSSL+RSAref US-situation· Advanced pass-phrase handling for private keys· X.509 certificate based authentication for both client and server· X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) support · Support for per-URL renegotiation of SSL handshake parameters· Support for explicit seeding of the PRNG with external sources· Additional boolean-expression based access control facility· Backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions· Inter-process SSL session cache (DBM or Shared Memory based)· Powerful dedicated SSL engine logging facility· Simple and robust application to Apache source trees· Fully integrated into the Apache 1.3 configuration mechanism· Additional integration into the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI)· Assistance in X.509v3 certificate generation (both RSA and DSA) Here are some key features of "mod_ssl": · Open Source software (BSD-style license) · Useable for both commercial and non-commercial use · Available for both Unix and Win32 platforms · 128-bit strong cryptography world-wide · Support for SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols · Support for both RSA and Diffie-Hellman ciphers · Clean reviewable ANSI C source code · Clean Apache module architecture · Integrates seamlessly into Apache through an Extended API (EAPI) · Full Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support · Support for the OpenSSL RSAref US-situation · Advanced pass-phrase handling for private keys · X.509 certificate based authentication for both client and server · X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) support · Support for per-URL renegotiation of SSL handshake parameters · Support for explicit seeding of the PRNG with external sources · Additional boolean-expression based access control facility · Backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions · Inter-process SSL session cache (DBM or Shared Memory based) · Powerful dedicated SSL engine logging facility · Simple and robust application to Apache source trees · Fully integrated into the Apache 1.3 configuration mechanism · Additional integration into the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI) · Assistance in X.509v3 certificate generation (both RSA and DSA)
