I have written a threaded Winsock server to upload data from a series of client machines to a central host. Each client is running WinXP. The central host is running Linux RH. I need to encrypt the data as it contains private healthcare information.
Each client would listen at a known port for data requests from the central machine. Data would be sent back as XML. The central machine is running a Perl script to request the data and put it into a DB.
I have both ends of the connection running without SSL and need to add the encryption layer. Perl makes it pretty easy but I don't see a v straightforward path to adding SSL to the Winsock code.
