The trouble with this isn't the lack of available options (indeed one may argue there are too many). But rather having everyone agree on something with a common API. Also has anything else seen heavy prolonged production usage?
- aomix 10y agoI've read other people make this point. There are a lot of TLS implementations out there but OpenSSL was so synonymous with SSL/TLS for so long that it became a fundamental building block. If an API could be established that lets the-thing-that-does-TLS become a minor detail that's easily configured we'd all be better off. Removing the dependency on OpenSSL is going to be a challenging, messy job. OpenBSD has mostly transitioned over to their LibTLS API but even they had difficulty moving some projects over.
