I am only a novice with regards to SSL, but I think I can give you some hints. 1a) If you want to use java to implement your SSL-client Then I recommend the provider called Bountycastle, available from: http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html This provider has what java1.4.2 lags. With java1.4.2 and Bountycastle, you should be set to go. 1b) If you want to use java to implement your SSL-client Then you can use SWIG, available from: http://www.swig.org/download.html and turn openSSL into a java package. Quote: "SWIG can be used to turn common C/C++ libraries into components for use in popular scripting languages." For a very short tutorial (7 screenfulls on a small tty), see this page: http://www.swig.org/tutorial.html 2a) If you want to use Delphi ... I don't know, I have not had the need to do SSL with Delphi yet. One of my mates told me that the newest Enterprise includes C++ Builder? If it does, you can just compile openSSL with C++ Builder. 2b) If you want to use Delphi ... Last time I had to use some C++ source from Delphi, I compiled the C++ library to a DLL, and created a pasacal-file, containing the DLL-imports. 3) If you want to use VB ... I don't know. If the client machine has ie6 installed, then you may be able to find out how to use ie6's SSL-features from VB. It would be fun to see a workable solution in VB.
