Yeah, get rid of RSAREF.
What I'd really like to see is the ability to compile OpenSSL with RSA's
BSAFE Crypto-C toolkit right out of the box. You can do it with 0.9.5a if
you apply a patch you'll find at http://www.lymeware.com/download_fw.html.
Why not use the ciphers in OpenSSL? Because I live in the US, I work for the
US Govt, and the US Govt says I have to use a FIPS 140-1 compliant
encryption toolkit, and no one has paid the NSA to look over the OpenSSL
toolkit and say, yes, we think it's secure and you can use it. Thankfully
Lymeware has provided a patch for 0.9.5a so I can compile BSAFE into
OpenSSL, and they will hopefully do so for 0.9.6 soon. But still, it'd be
nice if it were a compilation option in OpenSSL.
/s.
