+==================
+
+The ``openssl-native`` class supports using the native version of openssl
+built by the build system rather than support of the version provided
+by the build host. It helps setting environment variables for engines,
+modules, certificates etc correctly. For full certificate checking
+users should also add ``ca-certificates-native`` to :term:`DEPENDS`.
