New features

OpenSSL cryptography support is available via the following libraries:

OpenSSL version 1.0.2 — libcrypto.so.2 and libssl.so.2.
OpenSSL version 1.1.1 — libcrypto1_1.so.2.1 and libssl1_1.so.2.1. The header files are available under usr/include/openssl1_1.

QNX Neutrino provides the 1.1.1 version of the openssl utility. See openssl in the Utilities Reference.

For more information on OpenSSL including openssl commands, go to https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.2/ or https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/.

Existing code still works with OpenSSL 1.0.2; to use OpenSSL 1.1.1, existing code needs to be recompiled.

Known issues

An error is written to slogger2 when OpenSSL is used on the target and no /dev/crypto device is present. It is harmless and will be fixed in an upcoming update. (Ref# J2886970)
