I'm retrofitting an existing program to use [OpenSSL?] TLS between nodes. Most of my info comes from reading "Network Security with OpenSSL" and lurking on this list. I don't have the time right now to grok the code, hence this request.
Our app uses a leader-follower thread pattern (e.g., "Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture", Schmidt, et al) which means that any given connection event will be serviced by selecting from a threadpool. My reading suggests that OpenSSL is built around a thread-per-connection "orientation". On the other hand, I think I remember reading that OpenSSL does not use thread local storage so I thought we should be able to work around that since we can get to the BIO's underlying fd. Then I read that error state was maintained "by thread id". %-[ Can someone clarify this for me: does OpenSSL depend upon one-thread-per-connection or can it be used in the context of other threading models?
