mod_ossl Module—Enables Cryptography (SSL)
The mod_ossl module enables strong cryptography for Oracle HTTP Server. It is a plug-in to Oracle HTTP Server that enables the server to use SSL. The functionality of this module is similar to the functionality of Apache’s mod_ssl module. However, the cryptography engine used in the mod_ossl module differs from that of the mod_ssl module. The mod_ossl module uses Oracle’s Secure Socket Layer, which is based on RSA security technology, whereas the mod_ssl module relies on OpenSSL to provide the cryptography engine. […] It uses a version of the underlying SSL libraries that has gone through formal FIPS certification. […] Oracle no longer supports the mod_ssl module.
