- OpenSSL
- Open-source implementation in C of all the important SSL and X509

about lack of documentation here, you'll find some useful stuff.
- Phaos Technology
- Maker of the Java-based SSLava toolkit for coding SSL clients and servers.
- RSA's SSL-J
security product
- A Java implementation of RSA's BSAFE code for cryptography, X509 certificates,
and SSL connections. Probably the most widely used crypto code in the corporate
USA.

- The informal (and only) standards for cryptography on the 'Net, including
key exchange/agreement, digital certificate syntax, digital envelopes,
password-based encryption and more.
