如何在Windows CE上实现SSL服务器

Question

I need to implement a server running on Windows CE 5.0 that shall communicate on a secure connection. To implement a secure connection SSL looks like a good choice.

The Windows CE 5.0 Winsock implementation allows to implement all the SLL stuff using the Winsock Secure Sockets . But the problem is that the referred site states:

SSL does not support the following Winsock functionality ... "Calls to the accept function".

How can I implement a SSL secured server when accept will not work? What other options do I have to implement a secure connection to a Windows CE 5.0 device?

Edit: My current application implementation is in C++. So I would prefer an approach that use the Windows API or a C++ library.

Answer 1

We ported the Mentalis Secure Socket Library to the Compact Framework for when we needed SSL. It was fairly painless, though not without its bugs.

MatrixSSL supports Windows CE:

MatrixSSL™ is an embedded SSL and TLS implementation designed for small footprint applications and devices. Available is a fully supported, commercial version as well as an open source version that is available for download. MatrixSSL allows secure management of remote devices. Several secure embedded Web servers also use MatrixSSL for their encryption layer.

MatrixSSL has been ported to operating systems including FreeRTOS, Bare Metal, eCos, VxWorks, uClinux, eCos, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, WindowsCE , PocketPC, Palm, pSOS, SMX, BREW, MacOS X, Linux and Windows.
