BoingoSSL – BearSSL for Classic AmigaOS (68k)

Native, lightweight SSL/TLS engine for Classic AmigaOS, based on BearSSL by Thomas Pornin, extended and adapted for true Amiga system integration.

---

🚀 Project Goal

BoingoSSL brings modern, secure SSL/TLS support to classic Amiga systems (OS 3.x, 68k, A500-A4000).
Instead of a plain port, BearSSL serves as the crypto core,
system-conform and extended with AmigaOS-typical features: Handler, ARexx, Commodities, ENV variables, and Installer.

🔍 What’s different from the original BearSSL?

• 100% Classic Amiga Compatibility: Memory management (AllocVec/FreeVec), fallback & optimized code for 68000 up to 68060, no POSIX dependencies.
• System Integration:
  • SSL: Handler (filesystem-like access)
  • AREXX port & CLI interface
  • Commodities/hotkey/status integration
  • ENV/tooltypes/installer – plug & play on the Workbench
• Modular structure: Crypto engine, system integration, and optional AmiSSL compatibility layer are clearly separated.
• Classic-first, NextGen-optional: Main focus is on Classic Amiga; AROS/MorphOS/emulators are a bonus.
