Standards related to OpenSSL
============================

[Please, this is currently a draft.  I made a first try at finding
 documents that describe parts of what OpenSSL implements.  There are
 big gaps, and I've most certainly done something wrong.  Please
 correct whatever is...  Also, this note should be removed when this
 file is reaching a somewhat correct state.        -- Richard Levitte]


All pointers in here will be either URL's or blobs of text borrowed
from miscellaneous indexes, like rfc-index.txt (index of RFCs),
1id-index.txt (index of Internet drafts) and the like.

To find the latest possible RFCs, it's recommended to either browse
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/ or go to http://www.rfc-editor.org/ and
use the search mechanism found there.
To find the latest possible Internet drafts, it's recommended to
browse ftp://ftp.isi.edu/internet-drafts/.
To find the latest possible PKCS, it's recommended to browse
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/.
