SSL Socket

[Stelrad Doulton]

Hi,

Are there any free SSL socket implementations for CF? Something such as
http://www.mentalis.org

 

[Stelrad Doulton]

OK so nothing for free. What have others used?

The application has been developed using standard .NET sockets so I'd like
something derived from the BCL Socket class. IP*Works' offering
nsoftware.IPWorksSSL.Ipports obviously doesn't do this.

So, not just SSL, but a very specific implementation of a given class
interface and free, too? No, not that I know of. You can, if the device
implements SSL, use it with standard managed sockets interfaces. I think
that this should be possible on any Pocket PC device...

Well I had given up on free hence;

Avoiding a rewrite is a big bonus hence I am willing to pay for the right
product, mentalis's implementation derives BCL Socket, it would be real nice
to have something similar for CF.

You can, if the device implements SSL, use it with standard managed sockets
interfaces.

Not sure what you mean. Use what? If I need something bringing into the OS I
can talk to the platform guys.

Cheers

SSL support is a catalog element in Platform Builder. If you add it to the
platform, your Windows CE device supports SSL. That doesn't give you a new
managed code programming interface of the type that you desire, but you
should be able to write one.

Right, I'll look at it.

Thanks
