Title: SSL Support from A13 Wifi
Post by: bilica on June 12, 2014, 12:00:48 AM
Hi there,

Not sure if this is right place to ask:

does the A13 with WIFI supports SSL connections ? Like doing a curl https://something ?

is there any other (cheaper) alternative than the A13 that could do that ?

Thanks!!

The SSL support is not a hardware feature (most of time, unless you have a crypto-accelerator, used for heavy-trafic HTTPS servers), so if you have working Linux distribution, you probably have the required libraries already installed. Any hardware able to run the Linux (except very memory-limited ones) is also able to support SSL, the only difference is the maximal possible speed of the encrypted connection.
