There may be a language barrier here. Is the question:
- "which OS functions use OpenSSL?" (what Albert wrote)
- to which the answer is still "none", since my OS worked perfectly
well for many months before I installed OpenSSL
... or ...
- "what OS functions does OpenSSL use?"
- a completely different question, which I'm not qualified to answer
but Lutz has done a fine job of answering.
