Hi, I am currently evaluating the steps necessary to get the 56bit cipher stuff working. It might include the use of more bits to represent the EXPORT encryption strength level. We might also need at least one bit more for the RC6 encryption proposed in the last days. Eventually other extensions

Hi, I have just finished a first patch for the cipher selection and sorting improvements, especially for 56bits. It features a separate long int for "export state" and cipher strength. I have also made some small change to make the use of the SSL_IS_EXPORT... and SSL_C_IS_EXPORT... etc macros mor
