This chapter discusses how to write application programs using HP SSL on OpenVMS. The SSL library provides APIs supporting three SSL protocols: SSL Version 2 (SSLv2), SSL Version 3 (SSLv3), and TLS Version 1 (TLSv1). You can write an HP SSL application program in C or C++.
This chapter provides the following information:
A description of the seven HP SSL data structures
How to configure and obtain certificates
An HP SSL programming tutorial that shows the implementation of a simple HP SSL client and server program using HP SSL APIs
