I presume you're referring to the interface declared in the headers in
/usr/include/openssl?
Therefore the obvious question, anyone have experiance with them both
what
are the potential pro/cons such as loading the default root CAs,
dependencies (ran into a few problems with libcrypto hope to avoid with
libssl).
The preferred SSL implementation on OS X is SecureTransport. Its
interface is declared and documented in <Security/SecureTransport.h>.
It's nothing like OpenSSL. All private key and certificate based
operations are tightly coupled with OS X's Keychain mechanism;
application code generally does not have to be concerned with root
certs at all (though options exist to specify your own on a
per-transaction basis). Mail.app and Safari both use SecureTransport
for SSL.
Sample code for both client and server side can be found here:
