- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] OpenSSL
To clarify:
"the programmatic interface to OpenSSL is deprecated in OS X and is not
provided in iOS. Use of the Apple-provided OpenSSL libraries by apps is
strongly discouraged."
However, Apple's own ssh tool still uses it:
$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.8.2
So, anyone know if Apple will follow it's own advice and use the CFNetwork
API for SSH?
Alternatively, does anyone know of an ssh tool on Mac that uses an up to
date OpenSSL or the CFNetwork API?
Note also that OpenSSL on MacPorts is @1.0.0d, which is Feb-2011
