RE: How should I start?

[mclellan, dave]

Hi Layla:  A few months ago, I was in the same position as you are now, and have just turned over my first such effort to my QA group. 

 

This list is a great resource and I've learned a lot by watching it.  Many experienced implementors and the developers watch and reply on this list.

 

visit: www.openssl.org/docs and follow the four links (crypto, ssl, openssl, howto).  The O'Reilly book is excellent, and so is Eric Rescorla's book SSL and TLS - Designing and Building Secure Systems.

Subject: How should I start?

Hello Everyone:

 

I'm supposed to implement a security protocol using OpenSSL (C++) on windows platform. My qusetion is how can I get myself familiar with using the functions offered by OpenSSL. can anyone please recommend a reference or perhaps a website. I've already ordered this book:

 

Network Security with OpenSSL 

 

But i would really appreciate it if anyone can tell me where to start from, or if there's even some sort of a catalog listing the different functions and their uses.

 

Thank you all in advance.

Layla.
