What is SSL security in C++?

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) security in C++ refers to the implementation of SSL protocols to secure data transmission over networks.

How do I implement SSL in my C++ application?

You can use libraries like OpenSSL or Boost.Asio to implement SSL in your C++ application. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a simple code example using OpenSSL.

Here's a basic example:

#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>

// Initialize SSL and create a context
SSL_library_init();
SSL_CTX *ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_client_method());
// Load certificates and set up the connection...

This initializes SSL and prepares for a secure connection.

What are the common issues when using SSL in C++?

Common issues include certificate verification failures, improper SSL context setup, and handling of SSL errors. Always check your error logs!
