I thought it might be better suited for this list instead. I hope you will forgive the crosspost.] I would like to know if there is someone interested or already working on a port of the latest OpenSSL library to eCos. If you are or know someone who is, I would love to know about it so that we are not duplicating efforts. In doing some online research regarding OpenSSL on eCos, I came across the old port of OpenSLL by Andrew Lunn that claims to be updated to the v0.9.6b code base. However, that port is quite dated (going on 9 years old) and the current code base is much much different now. I also came across a note from Andres in the archives in response to someone else's inquiry about using the SSL portion of the library: > Please not that i only used some of the encryption algorithms and > diffie Hellman from it. I've not used SSL. So expect it to be broken > and require some work.

The project I am working on will be using SSL to provide a secure web interface for device configuration. In addition, we want to leverage the encryption module on our processor (mx27) to get some hardware acceleration for our other encryption needs. The ENGINE interface, in particular, is the primary reason for our desire to go ahead and port the latest OpenSSL to eCos. So, again, if anyone wants to be a part of this effort or can be there to offer guidance along the way, please let me know and we can collaborate. Thanks for you interest and comments, -- Mike -- Michael Bergandi
