You don't play poker do you. There is not way that RSA has any claim to openSSL at all and outside of the US they have no claim to patent protection either. Of course, if you were a salesman sitting behind an RSA desk and you had someone dumb enough to ask - what do you think the response will b

Yea, we figure this has a lot do do with it. Actually the $70K is down from $100K after much whining. The real concern isn't the price, though - it's "Do we have to pay him anything at all?" I thought we just owed RSA if we wanted to use RSA encryption, and that OpenSSL was Free and Clear if we

Base64 is a basic encoding mechanism (it is **not** encryption) used by HTTP clients for encoding username and password, for urls that requires user authentication. It is quite simple and there are a lot of implementations freely available (C/Perl/Java). Just do a search on www.google.com to sampl

Failure to verify client certificate

I'm curious: the SSL server code (s3_srvr.c, line 1677) sets an error of "no certificate returned" when the client's certificate fails verification. Why use this (rather misleading) error message? The equivalent client code (s3_clnt.c, line 764) uses the more intuitive error of "certificate verify
