RSA and SSL are two different things. SSL is much more than simple cryptography. It's a whole protocol with a lot of negociable options. Why don't you use DLL ? You may include OpenSSL DLL as resources in your executable and extract them at runtime. Or simply add those DLL into your setup. If you select OpenSSL, you may want to use ICS-SSL (http://www.overbyte.be/eng/ssl.html) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author of ICS (Internet Component Suite, freeware) Author of MidWare (Multi-tier framework, freeware) http://www.overbyte.be _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
