The code is ancient.
Look for copyright information - who owns the copy right for that page/code, and what license did they apply. The anwsers you want, regarding permission to use it are in that documentation, if it exists. If the code is correctly perceived to be open source, then you can do what you like with it. But, even if you can, that is not the same thing as you should. Remember, the age of that code. Revising it may be more trouble than it is worth. > incase if it is not good to use the above approach , then is boost library > available for android to use the Mr.Ted approach ..? > The boost library is a C++ library, and thus an be used on any platform for which there is a standards compliant C++ compiler. Therefore, if you have a C++ compiler for Android, then you can use boost libraries. The short answer, is yes, there is a C++ compiler on Android and thus you can use boost. BTW: The boost asio library does use openssl for it's security functionality. Therefore, it ought to be very easy for you to extend to include your new cipher, or anything else that you may want.
