Take your pick - although that's not an exhaustive list by any
means. I'd
personally recommend using Apple's API's where possible
(meaning, their CDSA
implementation) as these are well supported, and support all
the extra Mac
things that users expect (like keychains and so forth). My
Keychain
framework (2nd item above) implements a nice ObjC interface on
top of Apple's
stuff, if you prefer a higher-level.

I have not examined these in detail yet. Im planning to add
SDSI. It might require extensive changes in the certificate and
auth code.
Is it Legal to port this to other platforms like linux, windows
and the bsd's?
