It depends on what exactly you mean.
The library comes with some encryption algorithms, e.g. it provides 100%
Ada implementation of ChaCha20 and Poly1305.
However OpenSSL and GNUTLS are more than mere encryption, they implement
the complicated TLS handshake protocol and lot of other stuff. The
library provides bindings to both of them.
Now regarding the protocols that *may* use TLS, e.g. HTTP, MQTT, LDAP,
SMTP, whatever. The implementations of these protocols in the library do
not depend on any concrete implementation (bindings) of TLS. You can use
them without OpenSSL, with no TLS at all, as well as with your own
implementation of TLS or with provided OpenSSL or GNUTLS bindings.
