xref: /freebsd/crypto/README (revision ee12faa062c04a49bf6fe4e6867bad8606e2413f)
1This directory is for the EXACT same use as src/contrib, except it
2holds crypto sources.  In other words, this holds raw sources obtained
3from various third party vendors, with FreeBSD patches applied.  No
4compilation is done from this directory, it is all done from the
5src/secure directory.  The separation between src/contrib and src/crypto
6is the result of an old USA law, which made these sources export
7controlled, so they had to be kept separate.
