OpenSSL provides the infrastructure for encrypted communication using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). As such it is mostly used in conjunction with other applications like Web browsers/servers or to secure access to databases. As such most of the uses of OpenSSL do not lend themselfes easily to a demo script. One aspect that can be shown actually is the use of the OpenSSL application to create and compare checksums for files. This will be shown here for the OpenSSL source Zip-archive on the disk. The MD5 checksum for this file is MD5(openssl.zip)= fa02fef6cebcce87e3d47e69dc1808dc Freeware_demo.com will determine the checksum for the copy of the source archive on the CD and report if it is equal or not to the one given above.
