Great to hear positive reactions. I'll wait with the rebase to 2.2 until I get a signal from you. To answer your question: patch 3 only adds a backend for PolarSSL, adding a configure option to select the SSL library to use. I'm still working on a few extra features, such as PolarSSL PKCS #11

We’re hoping that it is a big step towards modularization for both the data channel crypto and control channel negotiation. As the control channel verification code has been separated, it should also be a first step towards modularization of that code. Adriaan From: chantra

PolarSSL was a personal choice for us, mostly due to its simplicity and multi-platform support. The patch is written in such a way that generic operations from most libraries should work, as long as a new backend is written for them. Adriaan > -Original Message- > From: Farkas

Hi List, We've been working on OpenVPN in preparation for a security evaluation. This entailed documenting OpenVPN at a relatively high level, removing the dependencies on OpenSSL, and adding support for a simpler, easier to evaluate library (PolarSSL). This was done in a series of patches:
