Use Network Framework instead of legacy Secure Transport APIs on macOS? #69

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network seems to be the supported API set these days. The older https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/secure_transport APIs are marked legacy / deprecated.

What does the future for macOS support look like if secure transport is assumed to go away?

Unfortunately the project I built this for ended up not ever being released, and I now only work on Python as an occasional hobby. If someone were to take this up, I could review, but short of having a company sponsor me working on it, I tend to doubt there will be any meaningful new features added to oscrypto.

The community demand for this specific mix of features and support (the oscrypto module as a whole) seems pretty niche, which isn't great for long-term health of the project.
