Almost all the ENGINEs need a specific piece of hardware. YOu often wont even get that far because they also often need a proprietary library to work and the ENGINE will fail because it can't load it. There is a test engine which just uses OpenSL itself for crypto and a GMP one which uses the GMP library. Neither is compiled by default. One of the easiest ways to load an ENGINE in an application is the auto config method where the settings can be embedded in a config file. The "openssl" utility supports that in openssl.cnf. Check the manual pages for the syntax and details about how to add support to an application. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
