Each software is released under license type that can be found on program pages as well as on search or category pages. Here are the most common license types:
Freeware
Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use).
Open Source
Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition — in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.
Free to Play
This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.
Demo
Demo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program’s interfaces. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited.
Trial
Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations.
Paid
Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.

|
For 64-bit / Win64 / x64 and 32-bit / Win32 / x86 Microsoft Windows Operating Systems OpenSSL maintains a list of 3rd-party maintained binary distributions of OpenSSL. Please review our Release Policy before downloading and using this distribution. |
OpenSSL ZIP File Installation Instructions
- Follow the instructions below if you have downloaded one of the ZIP files above and want to deploy OpenSSL manually (e.g. on the local hard disk or on a USB drive for a portable installation)
- Download the appropriate FireDaemon OpenSSL Binary Distribution ZIP file via the links above.
- Unpack the contents of the «openssl-1.1» or «openssl-3» folder in the respective ZIP file to a temporary directory (e.g. C:Temp)
- Copy the contents of (i.e. the files and directories contained within) the x64 folder or x86 folder to your target directory (e.g. C:OpenSSL)
- Copy the ssl folder and contents to the target directory (e.g. C:OpenSSL).
The commands to copy the files correctly from the location where you unpacked the ZIP file (assuming C:Temp) are as follows:
: For OpenSSL 1.1 cd C:Tempopenssl-1.1 : For OpenSSL 3 cd C:Tempopenssl-3 : Copy the binaries specific to your platform : Copy 64-bit binaries robocopy x64 C:OpenSSL /E : Copy 32-bit binaries robocopy x86 C:OpenSSL /E : Copy the ssl folder robocopy ssl C:OpenSSLssl /E
Your directory structure should look as follows:
C:OpenSSL>dir /b bin include lib ssl
To use OpenSSL, simply open an elevated Command Prompt then (adjusting the path in OPENSSL_HOME to suit your manual installation):
: You can set OPENSSL_HOME=%~dp0 in a batch script for portable installs set OPENSSL_HOME=C:OpenSSL set OPENSSL_CONF=%OPENSSL_HOME%sslopenssl.cnf set PATH=%OPENSSL_HOME%bin;%PATH% cd /d %OPENSSL_HOME% openssl version -a
To create a certificate signing request and private key using the same environment variables as above :
openssl genrsa -out server.key 4096 openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr -sha256 openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
Download OpenSSL 3.0 Windows Installer
Instead of downloading the ZIP file, and for convenience, you can download our Windows installer which will deploy OpenSSL 3.0 x64 (64-bit). OpenSSL is installed into the following file system locations. These locations are specified during the build and follow OpenSSL’s own conventions. Thanks to Advanced Installer for helping us out.

OpenSSL Documentation
Please refer to OpenSSL’s documentation.
Checking SSL / TLS Certificate Validity with Certify One
FireDaemon Certify One allows you to audit, check, inspect, and validate SSL / TLS certificates and certificate chains. Fortify also has a browser-based TLS Encryption Check Tool available.
Compiling OpenSSL From Source
Source
We directly pull from OpenSSL’s official GitHub repository.
Release Policy
Whenever we release an updated version of FireDaemon Fusion, Certify One, or OpenSSL gets updated with security fixes, we will provide the latest tagged version of the OpenSSL stable branch. The currently deployed OpenSSL library is version 3.0.8 and 1.1.1t at commit openssl-3.0.8-0-g31157bc0b4 and OpenSSL_1_1_1t-0-g830bf8e1e4 respectively:
git describe --always --tag --long --first-parent --dirty
Compilation and Build Script
The actual command line to build OpenSSL is as follows (where %toolset% is VC-WIN32 and VC-WIN64A respectively):
perl ..Configure %toolset% no-asm no-ssl3 no-zlib no-comp no-ui-console no-autoload-config --api=1.1.0 --prefix="%installdir%" --openssldir="%commoninstalldir%" -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
For reference, the build script used to create the binary distributions is attached to this article. The build script has the following dependencies:
- Visual Studio Community Edition
- Git for Windows
- Strawberry Perl.
Integrating OpenSSL with Your Visual Studio Project
To use the headers and libraries present in OpenSSL in your Visual Studio project, you will need to configure the properties of your project.
Additional Include Directories
Prepend «C:Program FilesFireDaemon Open SSL 3include»; to Property Pages -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories in your project per the screenshot below (adjusting the prepended path to suit your installation):
Additional Library Directories
Prepend «C:Program FilesFireDaemon Open SSL 3lib»; to Property Pages -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories in your project per the screenshot below (adjusting the prepended path to suit your installation):
Privilege Escalation Mitigation
When building OpenSSL, the build scripts bake the default location of the library (ie. the installation directory) and the SSL configuration into the final product. By default, OpenSSL automatically loads the SSL configuration file from the default file system location. This leads to an easily exploitable privilege escalation scenario documented in CVE-2019-12572. Our build of OpenSSL mitigates this flaw using the following preventative measures:
- The target directories we have chosen are Windows’ default system program files directories assuming a 64-bit architecture with a shared configuration file directory common to both x64 and x86:
- x64: C:Program FilesFireDaemon OpenSSL, C:Program FilesCommon FilesFireDaemon SSL
- x86: C:Program Files (x86)FireDaemon OpenSSL, C:Program FilesCommon FilesFireDaemon SSL
- To mitigate security holes even on non-default installations, we build the library such that it doesn’t automatically load the SSL configuration. Hence, when using the OpenSSL tools or the DLLs in your products you have to explicitly load the SSL configuration.
- All FireDaemon software products that utilise OpenSSL initialise the OpenSSL library at runtime using a flag that prevents the loading of the default configuration.
Compatibility and Support Matrix
The table below provides a compatibility and support matrix, mapping specific compatible Microsoft Windows operating system versions to specific FireDaemon OpenSSL software versions.

Buy SSL / TLS Certificates
OpenSSL 1.1.1i — криптографическая библиотека с кодом открытого типа «Open source». Она предназначена для работы с протоколами SSL и TLS, а также доступна для платформ Windows и Unix.
Основные возможности
- Поддержка практически всех алгоритмов хеширования, шифрования и электронной подписи.
- Реализация большинства криптографических стандартов.
- Работа с ключами (RSA, DH, DSA) и сертификатами.
- Поддержка сертификатов X.509.
- Формирование приватных ключей CRT и CSR.
- Тестирование соединений: SSL и TLS.
Удобство использования
Библиотеку используют все разработчики WEB-приложений, поскольку она отвечает за безопасность. При создании сайта обязательно необходимо создавать SSL-ключ (файл, позволяющий связать криптографический ключ с доменным именем или сервером). Библиотеку можно использовать для тестирования соединений SSL и TTL.
Специальных приложений для работы с библиотекой в графическом интерфейсе не существует. В этом случае приходится довольствоваться только консольным режимом, в котором требуется вводить команды.
Для новичка, на первый взгляд, покажется все очень сложным, но на самом деле это не так. Для работы с библиотекой в Интернете можно найти множество инструкций и видеоуроков, в которых детально объясняются основные аспекты ее использования.
«Изюминка» библиотеки заключается в открытом коде, в который можно вносить изменения, переписывать и удалять ненужные функции, т. е. создавать свой собственный модуль.
Разработчики рекомендуют скачивать ее с официального сайта. Однако не стоит забывать и о «GitHub» (хранилище, которое IT-специалисты используют для обмена программным кодом).
Достоинства
- Поддержка алгоритмов шифрования, хеширования.
- Работа с сертификатами и электронной подписью.
- Тестирование SSL/TTL-соединений.
- Гибкая настройка параметров создаваемых сертификатов.
- Поддержка CRT и CSR, а также сертификата X.509.
- Работа с ключами RSA, DH и DSA.
- Бесплатная версия.
- Открытый код (можно вносить свои коррективы в исходный программный код библиотеки).
- Высокая степень надежности.
- Реализация всех типов криптографических стандартов.
Недостатки
- Отсутствие графического интерфейса.
- Сложный синтаксис команд для новичков.
Библиотека является неотъемлемой частью каждого WEB-приложения и напрямую связана с его безопасностью. Благодаря открытому коду, ее можно изменить и доработать под свои предпочтения.
OpenSSL is an open source toolkit that implements the SSL and TLS security protocols. Windows installation packages are available for OpenSSL 1.1.1s which was released on November 1, 2022.
More Information
We’ve built a version of OpenSSL which has no external dependencies, including no dependency on the Visual C runtime. The primary benefit for SocketTools developers is the OpenSSL tool can be used to create self-signed test certificates for their server applications, as well as generate certificate signing requests (CSRs) to obtain certificates from Certificate Authorities like DigiCert.
The OpenSSL tool can also be used to troubleshoot secure connections to servers and return information about the cipher suites and certificates used with the connection.
Downloads
These installer packages include the latest stable release of OpenSSL. We will update these packages as new versions are released and they will only be compiled from the stable branch. There are two versions of the install packages available, and both packages include the 32-bit versions of the OpenSSL tool which can be used on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms.
openssl_1.1.1s_win32_complete.zip
This is a complete install (about 14MB) that includes static link libraries, include files for Visual C++ and the documentation, which is an HTML version of the UNIX man pages. We’ve combined the documentation into a single Compiled HMTL Help file (CHM) format. By default, it will install under C:Program Files (x86)OpenSSL and the configuration files into C:ProgramDataOpenSSL. The actual folder locations can vary depending on platform.
openssl_1.1.1s_win32_minimal.zip
This is a minimal install package (about 1.5MB) that only includes the OpenSSL tool and its configuration files. There are no libraries, include files or documentation.
If you are using SocketTools and want to create a «localhost» test certificate, you can also download an OpenSSL configuration file and script that will create a test root certificate and localhost certificate that simplifies the process.
openssl_localhost.zip
This includes a readme.txt file that explains what you’ll need to do. The script presumes that you’re using 64-bit Windows and OpenSSL is installed in C:Program Files (x86)OpenSSL. If you’re using 32-bit Windows, or you’ve installed OpenSSL somewhere other than the default location, edit the script to provide the correct location.
Source Code
Although we are providing this for use with SocketTools, you don’t need a SocketTools license to use it. This is freely available open source software, and we are making the compiled binaries available as a convenience for developers using our components and libraries.
SocketTools itself doesn’t actually use OpenSSL, it uses the CryptoAPI and Schannel SSP that’s part of Windows. However, we believe that OpenSSL is a useful tool that every developer should have.
You can obtain the source code for the OpenSSL toolkit from the official GitHub repository. If you want to contribute to the development of OpenSSL, report a security bug or review open issues, visit the OpenSSL Project website.
There are other binary distributions of OpenSSL that are available for the Windows platform, which can include shared libraries (DLLs) and support for other compilers such as MinGW and GCC. More information can be found on the OpenSSL website.
Please remember that OpenSSL is cryptography software, and as such, its use may be restricted depending on any applicable laws in your country that govern encryption. You alone are responsible for knowing your legal rights and obligations.
