Hey guys,

I am trying to write a client server application
wherein all the messages between the client and server
are encrypted. 

Just to get this whole things started lets say that I
established a shared secret between the communicating
entities. 
What is the best way to make this work. By this I mean
what is the best crypto API that I can use. I think
just for this purpose Openssl is overkill don't you
think. What kind of crypto API's can I incorporate
into my program to encrypt the message which is then
sent to the server. 

Thanks,
Vinay

No, this is the kind of thing that openssl is designed for. Someone's
already done the hard wofk for you, just use it. :-)

If you really want alternatives, you could investigate Peter Gutmann's
cryptlib. If you're distributing this, though, bear in mind that almost
every machine will already have openssl, while not many will have cryptlib
installed.
