OpenSSL is just a security library that implements several standards and algorithms. You can use any other library that implements the same standard and algorithm as you are using. I.e. Windows AFAIK has its own security library, yet can still read browser certificates that are (were?) validated using OpenSSL on Mac and other platforms. LibreSSL is essentially OpenSSL, just a fixed version, so you should just hear "LibreSSL" when anyone suggests using OpenSSL for anything and you'll be fine. Security.framework is what Apple recommends and supports, so sounds like a good idea. The only problem is that it is very limited. If it does what you need it to (i.e. offers whatever algorithm FastSpring use), it's probably the best choice as long as you don't plan going cross-platform anytime soon. -- Uli _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
