Introduction

This package provides a rudimentary interface to openssl.

• The classes Dv::Ssl::ContextV2, Dv::Ssl::ContextV3 and Dv::Ssl::ContextV23 represenst SSL contexts. They are derived from a common base class Dv::Ssl::Context.
• The class Dv::Ssl::Socket represents a client SSL connection. It is derived from Dv::Net::Socket (from the dvnet package) and thus from iostream.
• The class Dv::Ssl::ServerSocket is the SSL equivalent of Dv::Net::ServerSocket, from which it is derived.
• The class Dv::Ssl::X509Certificate represents a (server) certificate.
