+
+OpenSSL
+=======
+
+These are `CFFI`_ bindings to the `OpenSSL`_ C library.
+
+.. data:: cryptography.hazmat.backends.openssl.backend
+
+ This is the exposed API for the OpenSSL bindings. It has two public
+ attributes:
+
+ .. attribute:: ffi
+
+ This is a :class:`cffi.FFI` instance. It can be used to allocate and
+ otherwise manipulate OpenSSL structures.
+
+ .. attribute:: lib
+
+ This is a ``cffi`` library. It can be used to call OpenSSL functions,
+ and access constants.
