[edit] Merge SSLeay

I propose we merge in SSLeay. Unless we expect to be writing a large article on it, I suggest it'd probably be better off described in a paragraph in this article in a "History of OpenSSL" section. — Matt Crypto 22:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I guess there's noone disagreeing with you on this one. Feel free to merge, or I will some time in the future. Janizary 01:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge OpenSSL exception

This really should just be a section in the OpenSSL article after all. 65.95.229.9 01:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


I'm all for it, they are all directly linked together anyways. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.169.188.225 (talkcontribs).

Well, SSLEAY is a part of OpenSSL, so why not merge it. --70.155.60.59 21:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

No, OpenSSL is derived from SSLeay - there is a significant difference, besides which I already did that merge. Janizary 23:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIPS 140-2

I think it was a mistake to revoke it. And they put it back again. See: http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/07/19/1410243.shtml
