Secure communication without the hassle
Download PolarSSL PolarSSL is an SSL library written in ANSI C. PolarSSL makes it easy for developers to include cryptographic and SSL/TLS capabilities in their (embedded) products with as little hassle as possible. It is designed to be readable, documented, tested, loosely coupled and portable.
Easy to understand
