21.6 Socket Stream SSL interface

The Socket Stream SSL interface allows you to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with Lisp objects of type socket-stream.

The interface is based on the OpenSSL code, and most of it is simply an FLI interface to OpenSSL functions. The main LispWorks specific code is the way OpenSSL is integrated with socket-stream.

The Socket Stream SSL interface is in the "comm" module, so to load it you evaluate

Note: In this section we assume that the current package uses the comm package. That is, comm package symbols may not be qualified explicitly.
