I almost have TLS working at home now. It turned out that the most
time consuming part in developing this is the generation of private
keys! My computer keeps running out of randomness in /dev/random and I
have to bang my head on the keyboard to generate more entropy! :-)

Instead of SSL, I'm going with Transport Layer Security (TLS) which
(as I understand it) is a newer version of SSL. I'm using the
python-gnutls wrapper for GnuTLS. A good thing about GnuTLS is that it
is LGPL licensed whereas OpenSSL is licensed under the original BSD
license which is incompatible with the GPL. Please see:
