Hi, No the VASt plugin is not open source. It is not really a plugin. It is just Smalltalk code that calls the OpenSSL lib using external functions (the FFI of VASt). The OpenSSL library delivered with VASt is a very old version and there are some concurrency issues on windows. So I do think that Instantiations is interested in an upgrade. If technically possible than perhaps some kind of cooperation is possible.
Two years ago I created an open source alternative for VASt users on windows WinHttpClient & WinCrypt. This is of no use for Zinc because it depends on windows http stack :-( Jan.
