SSH under OS X uses OSSLShim, which is wrapper around Secure Transport. I'm not exactly sure when they started using it for this, but it has been a while.

If you're seeing OpenSSL in the output, you have probably installed SSH via Homebrew.

Usage of openssl has been deprecated since OS X 10.7 in favor of Secure Transport and Common Crypto. Furthermore, OpenSSL is not even supported on iOS. See: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Securi...
These are the versions on 10.10.3:

OpenSSL 0.9.8zd 8 Jan 2015

OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011

ah ok thanks. Actually I do not see OpenSSL there. I've looked too fast and thought OpenSSL is still used in OS X.
