OpenSSL
=======
+.. warning::
+
+ The OpenSSL API is not easy to use, small mistakes can lead to significant
+ security vulnerabilities. We strongly reccomend not using this directly,
+ and instead using one of the higher level APIs exposed by ``cryptography``.
+
+
These are `CFFI`_ bindings to the `OpenSSL`_ C library.
