Hi, Why the latest version is still 0.9.x, why it hasn't bumped up to 1.x in last 8 years. Generally 1.x defines a stable version. hmm, I personally would not get hung up on '1.x is stable' - having used dozens of platforms and software versions to run network delivery solutions I can tell

Secure UDP data recommendations

2008-08-22 Thread sphaero
Hello all, For an experimental project we need to securely transfer ascii characters through UDP. UDP is best of choice compared to TCP - we don't care if some characters never make it, neither do we care about the order the are received - we need low latency - we don't want to be bothered

Hi, Basically our client software is just sending out characters and should not be bothered about anything else. I've read about openvpn which uses TCP to bootstrap a secure UDP connection. OpenVPN can also run on just UDP too. alan

We're thinking of using openssl in our company but wondering about the version number. Rach, OpenSSL is a great product. It is very widely used and adopted throughout the world. If you ripped it off the face of the planet right now, it would be catastrophic because so many people and systems

I would like to use IXP4xx NPE crypto engine on Linux with OpenSSL. Looking around the internet shows that one needs a patched version of OpenSSL to use it; however it is hard to find up which documents are up to date and still usable. Could anyone point me to a working documentation about
