We have a crypto server that uses OpenSSL as a library. (SSL *) contexts
are given memory BIOs for I/O. OpenSSL is driven by calls to SSL_read(),
SSL_write(), BIO_read() and BIO_write(). There are no sockets.
I am attaching an archive containing the source code that implements
this API and a README file. This software is provided "as is". See the
README file for details.
Please regard this as a work in progress. I am interested in seeing
OpenSSL evolve to a library.
