Announcement Mailing List
User’s like yourself have constantly been bugging Shining Light Productions for some sort of notification mechanism as to when products are released and/or updated. So, to add one more worthless website feature to the slowly growing collection, this website now supports adding your e-mail address to the Shining Light Productions back-end database to receive product announcements. Since I care for SPAM and spammers about as much as I do this «feature» all y’all are wanting, you can be rest assured I will only send you plain text e-mail when a Shining Light Productions product is added or updated. Sign up below to receive announcements: For those who want to filter content using their e-mail client, the subject line will always contain pertinent information for filtering in the following format (useful if you only want to receive notices for one specific product):
[SLPro — Win32 OpenSSL] Win32 OpenSSL Released!
Product Support
Shining Light Productions’ Technical Support is highly acclaimed by many as the best in the software industry. The reason? You get to talk to the original/current developer of the product one-on-one. this means that there is no annoying third party using scripted responses.
The downside is that, since you ARE e-mailing a real developer, you need to realize this and respect the developer, no matter what mood he/she is in. A developer’s time is extremely valuable and a developer may not be in the most pleasant mood all the time. You can quickly get on any developer’s nerves by e-mailing multiple times, mis-spelling, mis-communicating, need to be told where your «Start» button is, or you manage to catch the developer at the end of an eight hour debugging session (or worse, the frantic portion of a release cycle). Shining Light Productions aims to be polite, but does not tolerate someone intentionally wasting a developer’s time. In addition to being concise, organized, and communicating clearly, below are some guidelines to follow that make the Shining Light Productions developer’s job that much easier to formulate a good response in a timely manner.
Bug Reports: To report a bug in the Win32/Win64 OpenSSL Installation Project, send an e-mail to Shining Light Productions describing your system setup, pertinent configuration information, what your intended goal is, and provide all related information (no matter how irrelevant it seems) to the bug.
Feature Requests: To suggest a feature, send an e-mail to Shining Light Productions describing the feature in as much detail as possible. Try to think of ways to make it benefit other users and thus make it a powerful, generic feature.
General Questions: If none of the above applies to your question, make sure it hasn’t already been answered. For general questions or problems send an e-mail to Shining Light Productions containing your question about/problem(s) with the product. If applicable, send a configuration file that demonstrates the problem.

Binaries
Some people have offered to provide OpenSSL binary distributions for selected operating systems. The condition to get a link here is that the link is stable and can provide continued support for OpenSSL for a while.
Note: many Linux distributions come with pre-compiled OpenSSL packages. Those are already well-known among the users of said distributions, and will therefore not be mentioned here. If you are such a user, we ask you to get in touch with your distributor first. This service is primarily for operating systems where there are no pre-compiled OpenSSL packages.

In particular any donations or payments to any of these organizations will not be known to, seen by, or in any way benefit the OpenSSL project.
Use these OpenSSL derived products at your own risk; these products have not been evaluated or tested by the OpenSSL project.

Скачать OpenSSL v.1.1.1i для Windows
OpenSSL 1.1.1i — криптографическая библиотека с кодом открытого типа «Open source». Она предназначена для работы с протоколами SSL и TLS, а также доступна для платформ Windows и Unix.
Основные возможности
Поддержка практически всех алгоритмов хеширования, шифрования и электронной подписи.
Реализация большинства криптографических стандартов.
Работа с ключами (RSA, DH, DSA) и сертификатами.
Поддержка сертификатов X.509.
Формирование приватных ключей CRT и CSR.
Тестирование соединений: SSL и TLS.
Удобство использования
Библиотеку используют все разработчики WEB-приложений, поскольку она отвечает за безопасность. При создании сайта обязательно необходимо создавать SSL-ключ (файл, позволяющий связать криптографический ключ с доменным именем или сервером). Библиотеку можно использовать для тестирования соединений SSL и TTL.
Специальных приложений для работы с библиотекой в графическом интерфейсе не существует. В этом случае приходится довольствоваться только консольным режимом, в котором требуется вводить команды.
Для новичка, на первый взгляд, покажется все очень сложным, но на самом деле это не так. Для работы с библиотекой в Интернете можно найти множество инструкций и видеоуроков, в которых детально объясняются основные аспекты ее использования.
«Изюминка» библиотеки заключается в открытом коде, в который можно вносить изменения, переписывать и удалять ненужные функции, т. е. создавать свой собственный модуль.
Разработчики рекомендуют скачивать ее с официального сайта. Однако не стоит забывать и о «GitHub» (хранилище, которое IT-специалисты используют для обмена программным кодом).
Открытый код (можно вносить свои коррективы в исходный программный код библиотеки).
Высокая степень надежности.
Реализация всех типов криптографических стандартов.
Недостатки
Отсутствие графического интерфейса.
Сложный синтаксис команд для новичков.
Библиотека является неотъемлемой частью каждого WEB-приложения и напрямую связана с его безопасностью. Благодаря открытому коду, ее можно изменить и доработать под свои предпочтения.
