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. + 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 +============================================================================= + OpenSSL repository was added as one submodule of EDKII project. Please +refer to edk2/Readme.md for how to clone the code. + +============================================================================= + 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. |
