Which library on windows is used to encrypt and decrypt messages while using TLS/SSL?

I wish to write a small IM client. If you can also provide links to some literature/sample code that would be great.

Depending on the language / platform (.NET, Win32 API etc.) there are several options available.

SChannel has been mentioned above. Then you can use OpenSSL. Also depending on your platform you can use our SSLBlackbox.

If you're writing native code, you're probably going to want to look at SSPI and specifially SChannel:

The Schannel security package provides access to four security protocols:

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2)
  • Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.1)
  • Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.0)
  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 3.0)
  • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 2.0)

Let's ignore for the moment that they can't count :-)
