+From c7141327180cff73904b28f04cfdb604fc7d0773 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] fix: Changed OpenSSL check inside configure.am
+
+In OpenSSL 1.1.0 the `EVP_MD_CTX_create()` and `EVP_MD_CTX_destroy()`
+functions were renamed to `EVP_MD_CTX_new()` and `EVP_MD_CTX_free()`.
+Because a check for `EVP_MD_CTX_create()` was in place inside
+configure.am, building with newer OpenSSL versions could not be done.
+
+Checking for `EVP_MD_CTX_create` function from configure.am was
+replaced with a check for `CRYPTO_new_ex_data()` function.
+
+Because a [compatibility layer][1] was introduced in OpenSSL 1.1.0,
+no code changes are necessary.
+
+Fixes: #203
