Crypt::SSLeay usage with openssl engines

2003-06-17 Thread Gilad Finkelstein
Hi,
My final goal is to run LWP over Crypt::SSLeay  where the crypto operations
are done via a standard pkcs#11 engine supported in openssl 0.97
I am now modifying the submitted pkcs#11 openssl engine
(trustway-pkcs11-openssl-0.9.7.patch.gz) to accommodate any standard
SmartCard or crypto hardware via the pkcs#11 interface. 
I have looked in the code of Crypt::SSLeay  and found no such support for
openssl engines (or am I wrong )
Would any one know if such support is planed in the future

Please reply also directly to my email address.
Gilad

Crypt::SSLeay does not explicitly support any openssl engines, however
that is not to say that it would not work with them or not.  It uses
the openssl APIs, so I imagine that since those APIs know how to use
the engine, then it will all work together nicely.
To see for yourself, once you have the openssl engine done, try
to build  run Crypt::SSLeay against it.
