@ -38,13 +38,9 @@ OpenSSL 1.0.1. However, it is not ABI compatible - you will need to relink your
programs to LibreSSL in order to use it, just as in moving from OpenSSL 0.9.8
to 1.0.1.
LibreSSL portable will likely build on any reasonably modern version of Linux,
Solaris, or OSX with a standards-compliant compiler and C library. If you are
working a new port, most of the OS-specific compatibility code is found in
'crypto/compat'
The project attempts to provide working alternatives for operating systems with
limited or broken security primitives (e.g. arc4random(3), issetugid(2)) and
assists with improving OS-native implementations where possible.
Note: Our policy is generally to use your system provided intrinsics.
If your system provides security sensitive functions (such as
arc4random(), issetugid(), calloc(), getentropy(), and others) we will
assume they are implemented correctly and securely. If they are
not please contact your OS provider.
