The Visual C++ SSL Library (versions 6.0, .NET, and .NET 2003) simplifies the creation of secure TCP/IP (SSL) applications with ease.
Implementing SSL features in an application is a complicated process that requires high-level math and networking knowledge. To make this process easier and accessible to all, programmer communities require libraries that can help them add SSL support to their applications. The CSecureSocket library is one such product that specifically caters to the Microsoft Visual C++ environment (versions 6.0, .NET, and .NET 2003). The library is fully MFC-compatible, with all functions derived from the class CSocket.
The Professional version of the software includes enhanced support, and the source code of the library is included. The software supports both Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols. The main features include secure connection between two socket end-points using various cipher methods with 128-bit encryption, easy SSL connection configuration, SSL authentication using certificates, private keys, easy certificate verification, advanced security options, and multithread application compatibility.
If you are familiar with the CSocket or CAsyncSocket class, adding SSL support to your application code is a quick and easy process that only takes a few minutes. Overall, the CSecureSocket library is an excellent tool for programmers looking to add SSL support to their applications in a simple and efficient manner.
