We'll be shipping OpenBSD's LibreSSL library instead of OpenSSL. Import that sucker.

Why?

RainbowHackerHorse commented 8 years ago

@alexfornuto Due to OpenSSL's history of nasty CVE's, we're going with a more secure fork. LibreSSL is developed by the OpenBSD team, also responsible for software like OpenSSH. We feel this is the best direction to go in, as the writers are focused on code correctness and security.

done. fingers crossed it doesn't cause issues down the road, but i guess we'll find out soon enough.
