The following are the core classes conditionally compiled in when you run -<code>make ssl=1</code>:</p> -<ul> - <li>ACE_SSL contains the interface to the ssl library OpenSSL. - <li>ACE_SSL_SOCK_Stream uses an interface and behavior nearly identical to - ACE_SOCK_Stream, only with the additional ssl layer functionality. - <li>ACE_SSL_SOCK_Acceptor/Connector are again similar to their ACE_SOCK counterparts -</ul> - -<p>The ssl library we use is OpenSSL which is available at -<A HREF="http://www.openssl.org/">www.openssl.org</A>. This library must be -installed in order to use ACE+SSL. We cannot answer all of the questions you may have about -OpenSSL, but hopefully through using the ACE+SSL interface your questions will be reduced.</p> - -<H3>What is the status of ACE+SSL</H3> -<p>ACE+SSL is currently still in early development. If forced to name names, I would call the core -functionality beta, while the interface and niceties are still in an alpha stage of development.</p> - -<H3>How do I get ACE+SSL?</H3> -<p>Currently we are investigating the implications of US cryptographic export restrictions -on the ACE+SSL distribution. Until this is ironed out, the only way to get the distribution -is to join the mailing list ace-ssl-users, or contact me with some reasonable proof you -are in the US. Reasonable proof includes sending me mail from domains only in the US. Examples -include .edu s in the US, or ISP which are only in the US. Hotmail accounts won't work:).</p> - -<H3>How do I join ace-ssl-users?</H3> -<p>Ace-ssl-users is a majordomo mailing list, ace-ssl-users@cs.wustl.edu. We will be -discussing and distributing code on the list, so again it must for now be restricted to members -from the US only. Any subscriptions will be forwarded to me for approval, so if it is not obvious -your email is from the US, send some proof to me, -<A HREF="mailto:jwh1@cs.wustl.edu">jwh1@cs.wustl.edu</A>, so that I may verify your locality.</p> - -<H3>When will this restrictive export policy change?</H3> -<p>If you are talking about the US export policy, I don't know, hopefully as soon as possible. If you -are asking when the Doc Group's policy will change, our lawyers are looking in to the situation now, -so hopefully we will have a better position soon. Our current restrictive policy is only temporary, -I don't think anyone here would be happy if this module couldn't be as open as the rest of the project -is. I apologize to everyone inconvenienced by this. Look for announcements on ace-users when we know -what the final word will be.</p> - -<p><A HREF="mailto:jwh1@cs.wustl.edu">John Heitmann</A></P> - -<HR><P> -Back to <A HREF="http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html"> -ACE</A> home page. <P> -<!--#include virtual="/~schmidt/cgi-sig.html" --> -</BODY> -</HTML> |
