DCMTK TLS with Windows Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI)

#1 Post by aashah »

Hello members,

I want to replace OpenSSL with Windows Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI).
From DCMTK architecture, I understand that dcmtls should be re-written to replace OpenSSL dependency.
Is it feasible? Have anyone done progress in this direction?
Any experience or sample code will help us.

Thanks,
Ankit

In principle, I see no reason why this should be impossible. The dcmtls module was designed to exhibit as little of the OpenSSL API as possible to the rest of the toolkit (specifically, to the dcmnet library), exactly for this purpose: to simplify an alternative implementation not based on OpenSSL. I cannot say how complex this will be, however, and I would expect the proverbial devil to be in the details as usual: multi-threading of TLS connections, timouts, error handling.
