Take a look here:

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/Common/src/Interop/Unix/System.Security.Cryptography.Native

The code you link to references those interop classes, which pinvoke into this code here:

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/tree/master/src/Native/Unix/System.Security.Cryptography.Native

Which calls into OpenSSL.

The types in the directory you linked to are all partial classes. The .csproj file in that directory includes a large number of files from elsewhere in the repo. These files contain most of the methods and [DllImport] platform invoke declarations.

The referenced CryptoNative (System.Security.Cryptography.Native.OpenSsl) library is a native shim found at corefx/src/Native/Unix/System.Security.Cryptography.Native, and forwards the calls to the actual OpenSSL implementation.
