SSLeay/OpenSSL support TLS in addition to SSL2 and SSL3. TLS is for all intents and purposes SSL3, Netscape's "standard" standardized by IETF. ----- Original Message ----- > A quick look over the RFC's reveals that TLS is very close to SSL but not > interoperable (I think the main difference is that TLS supports more > encryption algorithms than SSL etc., but most of the protocol is almost > identical) - see RFC 2246 and compare with > http://home.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/3-SPEC.HTM. A concern here is to adopt > something that can be implemented today, as opposed to something coming in > the future (e.g. we can't wait for the inbuilt mechanisms planned for > Internet2) as some of us have a need to implement this sort of security now. > There are already some proven SSL toolkits (SSLeay, OpenSSL, STunnel) > available (both commercial and GNU source code license ones, on both > Unix/Linux and Windoze platforms). Does anyone know of similar for TLS > (that's a genuine question, not a rhetorical one)?
