Using SSL through C++ application

[bluescode]

Hi !

A client app requests service from a server. A C++ app runs on the client machine.On the server side,java libraries are used to open SSL connection for encrypted data transmission. What needs to be done on the client side to use SSL using the C++ dll ?

Thanks

Your question is a bit vague to be fully answered. What do you mean by saying "using the C++ DLL"? Is it your program that runs on the client (ie. do you have the source code)? Do you know / have full control of the application protocol?

Your C++ client app can "talk" SSL by using either Windows' Schannel API or the free OpenSSL library (www.openssl.org).

Again, I don't know if this is the answer to your question. If not, please provide us with more info.

Check out OpenSSL.

I thought that was already suggested.

Hi !

The binary distribution downloaded from openssl contains header files in include directory and exe in bin directory.

How do I use these files from a C++ application ? Can I directly include the exe available in bin? For example, what does the openssl.exe do ?

I want to create a SSL connection from a C++ application on a client machine.

Any help on this will be very much appreciated!
