Securing socket programming



Hi,
  I'm needing to move some code over to SSL, and I can see there is either
SecureTransport or OpenSSL which I can use.

   So far I think the OpenSSL might give me a better choice because of

1) More portable to move code to other platforms ?

2) Sample code so far seems little less complicated, but that might be
because I still don't really understand this so far, and the SecureTransport
sample isn't very straight forward as has heaps of options in it.

  Does anybody have an recommendations or pitfalls which I might come
across, as I need this code to work from 10.2.0 onwards.

  My present understand on this SSL mechanism is that you open a basic
socket on the secure serve socket e.g. 443 for http, and then you have to
kick off the SSL api's ?

Thanks in advance
Mark.
