Yes. It would make most sense to use OpenSSL for most applications.
I thought about the other direction only because in one of my
applications there is a download size restraint and the OpenSSL
libraries are fairly large.
Given the sizes of the DLLs, I can imagine there is a huge amount
of
that encourage people to use the OpenSSL library. I hope
those who worked on ICS-SSL could shed some light...
Beside the huge effort it would take to implement the SSL
from scratch, do you realy believe that any home-grown
solution, written by non-experts in cryptography could be
more secure

I was reading TLS's wikipedia page the other day. I find
that although it's a lot of work, it is probably not
too bad to write the SSL handshake and encryption from
scratch, say, with ICS. I must be seriously overlooking
the details and complexities. I wonder what are the potential
