Are there any plans to roll in the patches that allow OpenSSL to be compiled
using the RSA BSAFE libraries in place of the encryption algorithms that
come with OpenSSL?

There are two, independent patches that work; one exists at
http://www.lymeware.com/download.html and the other at
http://jazz.external.hp.com/src/openssl.

I realize those in the international community probably do not care whether
OpenSSL can work with BSAFE or not; unfortunately, I am mandated to use
RSA's BSAFE libaries not because of patent restrictions, but because the
codes have been vetted by the NIST/NSA. It would really be helpful to those
in my situation, or even those who want to run RSA's version of the
algorithms, to be able to do so straight out of the box.

On a side note, I have successfully embedded RSA's BSAFE into OpenSSL using
the lymeware patch, and then compiled that into the nsopenssl modules for
AOLserver and it works! (see http://scottg.net/aolserver, right column,
Development section for more info).

thanks,

/s.
