Does anybody know if there is any library available that offer SSL3 support for .NET Compact Framework in a Windows CE .NET 4.2? The library should support Internet Protocols other than HTTP.
Thanks. |

I wish mentalis did, because its -almost- a drop in replacement for the .NET sockets, but alas, they do not.
The *only* product I found that supports secure sockets for .NET compact framework is www.nsoftware.com. Their implementation is not anything like .NET sockets, so migrating to their architecture is a pain. It's also expensive. 900$ for a license, iirc.

As Ryan said, we do not support the CF. The main reason of this is because the CF doesn't support the .NET crypto architecture.
SSL support for non-HTTP protocols will be supported in the next versions of the (normal) .NET runtime, so with any luck it'll also be available in the next version of the CF. |

OpenNETCF at http://www.opennetcf.org has recently epanded its compact framework to include a OpenNETCF.Security.Cryptography namespace that seems to have a lot of what is missing in the .NET Compact Framework. Would this help in coming up with a compact version of the ssl libary? |

I've actually started trying to do this. I've resolved all of the missing crypto classes, but there still remains some unsupported code. Namely:
Serializable
SerializationInfo
InteropServices.StructLayoutAttribute (and CharSet) (only 2 instances of this matter)
MarshalAs (only 4 instances of this matter)
If anyone knows a fast clean way to pull references to those classes out and still have working code, I think we could get this working. Wish I had more time to spend on it. |
