If you look in the gnu website you will find example code for Unix like based systems. I did this about 12 years ago and it works well. What the problem was back then is if we use the "fork"() model which to me makes sense then OpenSSL was never designed for this so we have a clash. OpenSSL will

I think the short answer is that the user won't know - this is the practical answer. The technical answer is the the user must be able to run an app such at MD5 against the browser code that will confirm that the browser is legit. But of course the md5 app might have been compromised and par

I realise there are lots of ways to get random data including mouse pointers, sound cards, etc. Often the simplest solution is to just poke in a card and be done with it. A couple weeks ago I posted a message to the effect that if a card is a good solution, we can probably build it. People h

unable to create a proper cert

I've been trying to create a proper cert file and so far I've been unable to do so. I followed the procedures in mod_ssl.org and that produces a version 3 cert file which to me appears to have the proper goodies in it. However I have to admit that I'm too new at this time to be able to tell.

I believe you do not need a license for openssl in _ANY_ country in the world. OpenSSL is open source and the copyright specifically allows you to use it for whatever purposes you choose. Secondly - there is the issue of export of any software you might create which may use certain features
