This is not a question specific to Openssl itself, but to discuss the challenges of moving from other crypto libraries to OpenSSL (specifically from cryptlib).
We have a legacy C++ application consuming cryptlib to perform encryption operations, and we are considering migrating the application to consume openssl. Looking over the definition file (.def) files between two, I notice there’s not exactly a 1:1 counterpart but I notice that openssl is extensive in terms of the operations I can do with. We are considering the challenges and the gotchas we should know when migrating from a different crypto library to openssl. Has anyone been through this transition before and what were the challenges with the migration? Note, the current motive is to save paying for the cryptlib license, but also believe that moving to Openssl wil streamline our applications using openssl and help patch security fixes easier.
