In environments where CPU and storage is constrained, OpenSSL may not be the most appropriate SSL implementation to use.
For example, the OpenSSL package in OpenWRT 12.09 is 600 kB!
There exists several other SSL libraries, among which some are clearly designed to be lightweight and fast.
For instance: GnuTLS (?), CyaSSL, PolarSSL, axTLS or MatrixSSL.
It would be really nice to have Mosquitto support one or more of these libraries -- in addition to OpenSSL of course.
Thanks!
