Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Libraries
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), or Transport Layer Security (TLS), the Internet Engineering Task Force
standardized equivalent of SSL, secures connections between individual network connections, or sockets.
RSA provides a developer’s kit containing a high performance SSL implementation for HP-UX.
Alternately, you can use the precompiled OpenSSL commands and libraries available as a part of the HP-
UX Internet Express open source software package. You can download HP-UX Internet Express from
Software Depot. HP-UX Internet Express is also available on the HP-UX Application Release CDs.
SSL Features
The key features and benefits of SSL are:
• Stand-alone Web application security: Provides security at the application level without relying on
secure transport at the server level or on service-level protocols like IPsec.
• Flexibility: Developers can use SSL to provide security for their applications.
