sslfd
Libsslfd is a wrapper library for Eric Young's SSLeay package which implements the SSLv2
and SSLv3
protocols. The purpose of libsslfd is to hook the SSL (and other magic) into code which uses normal file descriptors. This allows code that uses stdio for instance to be SSLified with minimal effort. See the SSLeay FAQ for more
information about SSLeay.
Libsslfd has been used by the author to add SSL support to:
API
The sslfd api is very simple. The crypto
hooks are implemented via close(2), read(2), write(2), recv(2) and
send(2). The rest is just setup and authentication/authorization
checks. Most applications can have SSL support added by simply
calling ssl_start(), and linking with the library.
CRL processing to check for revoked
certificates is included in the default certificate verify callbacks.
