OpenSSL

OpenSSL is a widely-used software library that provides tools and protocols for secure communication over the internet. It helps encrypt data, ensuring that information such as passwords and credit card numbers remain confidential when transmitted between computers. OpenSSL uses cryptographic techniques to protect this data from unauthorized access and is commonly used in web servers and applications to establish secure connections (https). Think of it as a digital lock and key system that safeguards your data while it's traveling across the internet, making online interactions safer and more secure.
