SSL Socket

Description

The QtSSLSocket component provides SSL encryption support for QSocket controlled network connections.

SSL is a standard way to encrypt network connections. This component allows developers to use SSL together with the QSocket class in Qt. It requires the 3rd party library OpenSSL.

The class works on top of QSocket, encrypting data before it is sent to writeBlock() and decrypting it after if is received by readBlock(). The interface is similar to that of QSocket.

This Qt Solutions component is for Qt 3. For Qt 4 Solutions, please visit http://www.trolltech.com/products/solutions/catalog/4/.
