EXPERIMENTAL!!!
The LibreSSL project provides a free TLS and crypto stack that was forked from OpenSSL in 2014. The goals are to provide a modernized codebase, improved security, and to apply best practice development processes.
LibreSSL provides C APIs that are compatible to OpenSSL's libssl and libcrypto libraries. It also provides libtls, a new TLS library that is designed to make it easier to write foolproof applications.
LibreSSL conflicts with OpenSSL on Debian and Ubuntu as both provide the libssl and libcrypto libraries. This package only provides libtls as a library, statically linked with the LibreSSL versions of libssl and libcrypto.
This allows to build and install programs that use libtls without conflicts. One example is OpenBSD's TLS-enabled version of netcat.
It packages the libtls library but not libssl or libcrypto.
- libtls-dev: LibreSSL libtls headers
- libtls-doc: LibreSSL libtls manual pages
- libtls19: LibreSSL libtls
- netcat-libressl: TCP/IP swiss army knife with TLS support
sudo apt install dpkg-dev devscripts
dpkg-source -x libressl_3.0.2-2.dsc
( cd libressl-3.0.2 && dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign )
sudo dpkg -i *.debThe libressl_3.0.2.orig.tar.gz source file is directly from
LibreSSL, you can verify it with the official signify or PGP
public key. The format of this repository might change in the future,
including the official release tarball here is to simplify the .deb
build.
Packages are provided on Debian Salsa with an inofficial APT source. Add the source with the following command:
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/libressl.list <<EOF
deb [ arch=amd64 allow-insecure=yes ] https://reyk-guest.pages.debian.net/libressl/ autobuilt main
EOF
sudo apt updateAnd install the packages:
sudo apt install libtls19 libtls-dev libtls-doc netcat-libresslPlease note that the packages are not signed at the moment.
See COPYING for details.
