Suppose that in developing your team Python software system, you used the open-sourced openSSL module to encrypt the data used in your application ("scrambling" it so that attackers can't use it).. 

See https://www.openssl.org/docs/  (and the links from there) for documentation about the openssl and how it is used. Also, see https://www.pyopenssl.org/en/latest/introduction.html for information about the python openssl wrapper code that allows you to use openssl easily from within your python program or interpreter.

 

1. Briefly explain what level or type of software reuse is occurring (system or application or component, or object/function, or a combination?), if any. Refer to Chapter 15, pg 424 on the software units of reuse. 
    
2.  Briefly explain and justify whether or not you believe openssl is beneficial to reuse for new software
    
3. Finally, briefly explain all risks you argue exist for a national government's military (for example the United States Army) to reuse OpenSSL in their software systems. Should the military reuse OpenSSL? Briefly explain and justify
