-=============================================================================
- Introduction
-=============================================================================
- OpenSSL is a well-known open source implementation of SSL/TLS protocols.
-The core library implements the cryptographic and SSL/TLS functions and
-also provides various utility functions. The OpenSSL library is widely used
-in variety of security products development as base crypto provider.
-(See http://www.openssl.org/ for more information about OpenSSL).
- UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a specification detailing
-the interfaces between OS and platform firmware. Several security features
-were introduced (e.g. Authenticated Variable Service, Driver Signing, etc)
-from UEFI 2.2 (http://www.uefi.org/). These security features highly depend
-on the cryptography.
- This HOWTO documents OpenSSL building under UEFI/EDKII environment.
-
-=============================================================================
- OpenSSL-Version
-=============================================================================
- EDKII supports building with the latest release of OpenSSL.
- The latest official release is OpenSSL-1.1.0e (Released at 2017-Feb-16).
- NOTE: Only latest release version was fully validated.
- And no guarantees on build & functionality if using other versions.
-
-=============================================================================
- HOW to Install OpenSSL for UEFI Building
-=============================================================================
-1. Clone the latest official OpenSSL release into the directory
- CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/
-
- Use OpenSSL-1.1.0e release as one example:
- (OpenSSL_1_1_0e below is the tag name for the OpenSSL-1.1.0e release)
- > cd CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib
- > git clone -b OpenSSL_1_1_0e https://github.com/openssl/openssl openssl
- or
- > git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl openssl
- > git checkout OpenSSL_1_1_0e
-Or
-2. Download the latest OpenSSL release package from the official website:
- https://www.openssl.org/source/
- and unpack the OpenSSL source into:
- CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/
-
-=============================================================================
- About process_files.pl
-=============================================================================
- "process_files.pl" is one Perl script which runs the OpenSSL Configure,
-then processes the resulting file list into our local OpensslLib.inf and
-OpensslLibCrypto.inf.
- This only needs to be done once by the maintainer / developer when
-updating to a new version of OpenSSL (or changing options, etc.).
-Normal users do not need do this, since the results are already stored in
-the EDKII git repository for them.
