Hey guys, I am trying to write a client server application wherein all the messages between the client and server are encrypted. Just to get this whole things started lets say that I established a shared secret between the communicating entities. What is the best way to make this work. By this I mean what is the best crypto API that I can use. I think just for this purpose Openssl is overkill don't you think. What kind of crypto API's can I incorporate into my program to encrypt the message which is then sent to the server. Thanks, Vinay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
