Hi,
I have openssl dlls(i.e.libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll). I need to know if these
libaries are using any of the patented algorithms like IDEA, RC4, RC5,MDC2
etc. Can you please let me know if there is any way to find out this?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in adavance,

Hi,
Use the tool Dependency Walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) to look
at the exported functions of libeay32.dll. If it exports RC5, you will see
exported symbols starting with RC5. For MDC2, you'll find symbols starting
with MDC2 and etc...

Hi,
Is there any binary distribution where I can find SSL dlls without
patented algorithms like IDEA,MCD2,RC4,RC5 etc. I tried compiling
without them. I could exclude other algos but not RC4. Some linking
issues. So i need to know if there is any ssl release without the
patented algorithms.
