RE: Good openSSL Book??
Gary Feldman wrote: While it may not be exactly what you want, Stephen Thomas's book _SSL and TLS Essentials_ is nevertheless valuable. Its focus is the protocol, not the use or configuration of OpenSSL or other such package. I agree totally. A very good and easy to read explanation of the negotiation process. Very helpful in understanding what the OpenSSL code is doing.

how commercial browser clients seed PRNG
I'm curious if anyone knows how commercial browser clients (IE, Netscape, Opera, etc.) seed their PRNGs? Anyone know or have any guesses? Thanks, Glenn __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List[EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: question about DES patents
Greg, Thanks for the fast response. What are the restrictions outside the U.S.? (I thought this was relaxed recently.) Is the Elliptic Curve cryptography is implemented in the OpenSSL code? (I can't any mention of algorithms based on this process in the code.)

RE: Problem linking the examples in WinNT4
Sergio, I'm guessing this has to do with collisions in the DLL you are compiling with and the ones that were used to build the OpenSSL DLLs. Check the INSTALL.W32 for details, but I'm pretty sure they use (and require) the multithreaded DLLs. Go to your VC6 project settings (Project-Settings...). Select each configuration (Settings For:) and on the C/C++ tab, select 'Code Generation' in the Category dropdown. Make sure that the runtime library for each config is of the multithreaded variety.
