SSL to a data socket

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 4 kudos within 4 years after posting will be automatically declined.

LabView has supported SSL secure communications for the web server for some time now.

But, there is no support for using SSL to a data socket.

 

In these times, with the NSA and hackers snooping everywhere, it seems like a necessity.

 

There is a third party library "SSL Library" on the NI site.  It has no documentation.  It uses Microsoft .NET calls to do SSL, but it is not clear how to make it work.

 

We have been using a proxy written in perl to get SSL to a LV data socket.  It is a kludge solution.

 

Why can't LabView handle this?
