10 The OpenSSL C<libssl> library provides implementations of several secure network
14 operations (see L<ossl-guide-libcrypto-introduction(7)>).
16 The set of APIs supplied by C<libssl> is common across all of these different
18 of these protocols should be able to transition to using another with relative
19 ease.
21 An application written to use C<libssl> will include the F<< <openssl/ssl.h> >>
22 header file and will typically use two main data structures, i.e. B<SSL> and
30 the packets of data can be delivered in any order, and they are not guaranteed
34 Both TLS and QUIC support the concept of a "stream" of data. Data sent via a
36 can be uni- or bi-directional.
38 SSL/TLS only supports one stream of data per connection and it is always
39 bi-directional. In this case the B<SSL> object used for the connection also
40 represents that stream. See L<ossl-guide-tls-introduction(7)> for more
44 uni- or bi-directional. In this case an B<SSL> object can represent the
45 underlying connection, or a stream, or both. Where multiple streams are in use

61 As well as B<SSL_CTX> and B<SSL> there are a number of other data structures
62 that an application may need to use. They are summarised below.
68 This structure is used to indicate the kind of connection you want to make, e.g.
