  • s2n

    An implementation of the TLS/SSL protocols

  • I would be interested in the other SSL implementations:

    - https://github.com/awslabs/s2n

    - https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl

    - https://bearssl.org/

    Are these subpar implementations or there are other reasons not to use these?

  • void-packages

    The Void source packages collection

  • There's a GitHub issue[0] acting as an RFC open since April 2020. Looks like no conclusion has been reached but a quick skim of the thread reveals lots of sentiments similar to those expressed in TFA.

  • rust-tls-api

    TLS API for Rust, and API implementations over native-tls and openssl in separate crates

  • Just to add to your point.

    Rustls is excellent, but has a Rust API and does not do I/O. Its a great alternative for Rust applications but, for C/C++ applications, the API wrappers are needed [1]

  • OpenSSL

    TLS/SSL and crypto library

  • This is the old "special" license:

    https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/OpenSSL_1_1_1c/LICEN...

    And this is likely the condition the article refers to

      3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
