Hi John, I built and tried PolarSSL on eCos Linux synthetic target, but, that was external build with its default settings. I know size of got stuff. But, it seems I need to get CDLized PolarSSL (CYGPKG_POLARSSL eCos package) for such a comparison (and at first, the Andrew's port of OpenSSL would be used). However, in my opinion, that's not very important (I'm about sizes). The main your Q was Can future eCos releases have 'net/*ssl' packages out the box at all? And I'm still having doubts... If we can have only the 3rd party crypto packages, that's good to have different alternatives. And 2-3 alternatives is not too much :-) Well, as I said 'A', I will work on CYGPKG_POLARSSL. Certainly, that will be movements only in porting and testing. I am not expert in the field of cryptography.
