Good monday morning all; We are trying to implement SSL on our commercial Apache web server which runs on FreeBSD. I have done some extensive reading(looking for ways I can do this with open source stuff and careful about US crypto rules). I can't run Apache with OpenSSL (mod_ssl) which is freely and legally available EXCEPT IN THE US! I can't use RSAref implementation for SSL purpose without paying licensing fee it is a patented technology in the US and SSLeay uses RSA methods I simply want to add the SSL feature to our servers; customers can pay for certificates of authorities... seperately if they need them, I just need standard 40 byte encryption for some of the stuff that runs on our web servers, and if I have to pay I would rather donate the money to open source where it will be used for the good of all!! help please Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
