On Porting OpenSSL v1.0.0c


Hello all,

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:

Well, Andrew, if you are listening, I'm all ears...

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,
