1.) eselect-profile support
=== Installation ===
    We want eselect-profile to support both the funtoo style profiles and the gentoo style profiles at the same time
{{console|body=###i## emerge dev-libs/openssl}}
    First thought, says if /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is a symlink, only show gentoo style profiles; this will hide the changes from unsuspecting users so they don't    
 
        accidently set an experimental profile as gentoo tries to catch up.
=== Usage ===
    If /etc/{,portage}/make.profile is not a symlink, then show a list of old style profiles and new style profiles.
ssl uses several certificates with differing coverage, and use cases. Certificates are obtained by 3rd party sites.  go-daddy, namecheap, and verisign are popular ssl certificate providers, though several others exist.
        This may require funtoo to remove profiles.desc and profiles.eselect.desc from gentoo before replicating.
 
2.) catalyst support
The general overview is buy certificate, send private files, send extra information if required, get files back, insert files into openssl configs, change program configs ports to S version of the protocol, (as in for web port 80, now listens to port 443, and i address the server as https instead of http now.) reorder the cert next year.
    seems trivial, support catalyst setting new style profiles.

==== Free Certificates ====
Free:  (with restrictions)
You can get free certificates from places like StartSSL.com. The free certificates from them are not recommended if you are a company or doing E-Commerce as they only validate that you own the domain, not anything beyond that.  However, for personal sites, you can't beat the cost.
 
==== Single Domain Certificates ====
Generally $10/yr:
Single domain certificates are probably the cheapest ssl certificate you will find on the web. This certificate does not cover subdomains.
 
==== Unified Communications Certificate ====
Generally $300/yr
This certificate is meant for small businesses. This type of certificate will generally cover 20-30 domains, sites, or subdomains.
 
==== Wildcard Certificates ====
Generally $300/yr
Wildcard certificates are expensive, however they cover every subdomain name you add.

OpenSSL is a cryptography package used with net-misc/openssh, web servers, and more. ftps, https, smtps, imaps, etc use SSL/TLS. SSL/TLS is used to prevent man in the middle attacks on plain text streams of data. As this is a security package it is frequently cycled from testing, & bug repairs.

   Note

ssl is old, tls is new. If you have the option to run tls, run tls rather than ssl

Installation

root # emerge dev-libs/openssl

Usage

ssl uses several certificates with differing coverage, and use cases. Certificates are obtained by 3rd party sites. go-daddy, namecheap, and verisign are popular ssl certificate providers, though several others exist.

The general overview is buy certificate, send private files, send extra information if required, get files back, insert files into openssl configs, change program configs ports to S version of the protocol, (as in for web port 80, now listens to port 443, and i address the server as https instead of http now.) reorder the cert next year.

Self Signed Certificates

Free: Self signed certificates are free, self made, quick, easy to setup, and insecure. They are great for lab experiments, and testing out new technologies that you're not familiar with.

Free Certificates

Free: (with restrictions) You can get free certificates from places like StartSSL.com. The free certificates from them are not recommended if you are a company or doing E-Commerce as they only validate that you own the domain, not anything beyond that. However, for personal sites, you can't beat the cost.

Single Domain Certificates

Generally $10/yr: Single domain certificates are probably the cheapest ssl certificate you will find on the web. This certificate does not cover subdomains.

Unified Communications Certificate

Generally $300/yr This certificate is meant for small businesses. This type of certificate will generally cover 20-30 domains, sites, or subdomains.

Wildcard Certificates

Generally $300/yr Wildcard certificates are expensive, however they cover every subdomain name you add.

Other Misc Certs

  • domain validated SSL Certificates
  • organization validated SSL Certificates
  • Extended Validation SSL Certificates
