Other than that, it should just work."'', so it looks like there may be working encryption if you build from scratch instead of using the prebuilt binaries. It is unclear what if any authentication building against OpenSSL would give STAF.</ref>

:Guix integrates many things in the same tool (a distribution, package manager, configuration management tool, container environment, etc).
