SSL facilities.
In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
- for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory
- srclib/apr-util/ssl/
- that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as
- OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities.
- Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface.
+ for symmetrical cryptographic functions that make use of a
+ general-purpose encryption library, such as OpenSSL, NSS, or the
+ operating system's platform-specific facilities. This interface is
+ known as the apr_crypto interface, with implementation beneath the
+ /crypto directory. The apr_crypto interface is used by the
+ mod_session_crypto module available under
+ modules/session
+ for optional encryption of session information.
