Greetings!

So, I have a handful of relatively esoteric questions.

Say I have binaryX that will use both libcrypto and libssl.

1) Is it dangerous to statically link the one and dynamically link the
other? what if the versions mismatch?

2) Does anybody know the version of OpenSSL included by default on the
various versions of OSX?

3) I've tried building a version of OpenSSL for ppc7400 + i386 according to:
http://developer.apple.com/opensource/buildingopensourceuniversal.html. Are
there additional steps I could be doing to optimize the build further,
especially that would shrink the additions to the final binaryX statically
linked against the Universal libcrypto.a?

Thanx!

Hi group,

I am starting a project that will require using SSL to transmit data
in an encrypted mode. I would like
to find some simple code that I could use as a model for my program. The
program will be a peer to peer
communication using the same code at each end, an SSL Agent. I want to
use "One Time" RSA
authentication method, That means that for each connection, generate an
RSA key before starting the
connection and use it just once. I have the "Socket" code already, I
just need the SSL calls/protocol.

From what I have gathered, the calls would something like this:

Generate RSA Key (call rsa_generate_key?)
Request authentication from other side
Return my key
Loop:

Hi Geetha:

Certificate Validation is explained in detail in RFC3280 (and, more up to
date, RFC5280).

No - a Root certificate is a self signed certificate - usually belonging to a

1) Explicitly trust it, because it came with your browser, and you trust
Microsoft, Mozilla, Apple, Opera, or the KDE folk.

Hi,

I am new to openssl. I am trying to cross compiling openssl-0.9.8g for
mipsel-linux.

I added the following lines to my Configure file

"linux-mipsel", "mipsel-linux-gcc:-DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -Os
-fomit-frame-pointer
-Wall::-D_REENTRANT:-ldl:BN_LLONG::::::::::dlfcn:linux-shared:-fPIC:.so.
\$(SHLIB_MAJOR).\$(SHLIB_MINOR)",

After that I compile by make.

I am getting the following error

_dl_out_of_memory@GLIBC_PRIVATE version ..undefined reference "

Please let me know what went wrong.

Thanks,
Haresh E.L.
