Rating: This book is for anyone who wants to do real OpenSSL development. The authors have taken all the pain and headache out of trying to learn OpenSSL. The examples in this book are clear and easy to follow. Topics like PKI, certificate generation and management, and certificate authorities (CAs) are covered with the right amount of theory and practice. Unlike one reviewer who had problems compiling the source code examples, I had no problem building and running all the examples on Linux. The only complaint I have is that each example is broken out into a seperate file, which can make it a little tough to piece back together, but even a novice C developer should have no problems.
