That's not right. The BIO functions don't do crypto (well, you can use BIO structures to access the SSL library, but you don't have to and can use functions such as SSL_read and SSL_write instead). The BIO functions normally do the I/O. That's definitely not always what you want. Please take a look at "BIO pairs" (http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/BIO_s_bio.html) as a way to avoid having any actual I/O take place within the OpenSSL librarires. The SSL/TLS implementation for the Postfix mail server might provide useful example code for this.
