Which TLS library should I use, portability is an issue

We are looking to add TLS (transport layer security) support to our software, and are looking for the best choice of a library. The software is written in c++, and is ported to Linux and Solaris (and Windows, but who gives a crap?). Being able to adapt the code to both Linux and Solaris is a major concern, and thus a library which is known to work well on Solaris would be preferred, even at the cost of efficiency.

Thanks in advance for any recommendation. Shai

We've used OpenSSL on Windows, AIX, Solaris, HPUX and Linux for quite a long time and never found any incompatibilities. As far as I remember, no platform specific code was needed to make it work everywhere.

We've used OpenSSL on Windows with C++ but you'd have to check if this ports to all the Operating Systems that you need.

libssl works on Solaris. It's not fun to use but it's the de facto implementation.
