Use QSslSocket instead of QTcpSocket

[__d4ve__]

Hi ,

I want to implement QSslSocket instead of QTcpSocket , as far as I understand I need to create
"certs/client.key";
"certs/client.crt";
How do I do that inside application not relaying on openssl or if so is there any module or class I can use for such case ?

Hi,

The need for a custom client key depends highly on what your application does. So before embarking on that road, what are you needing it for ?

I use QTcpSocket to connect to server
additionally to the created connection I created heartbeat mechanism
I want to encrypt the heartbeat messages

I can use QSslKey key = QSslKey::generate(QSslKey::Rsa, 2048);
but it still creates files , I have to create external files to use SSL connection?

Where do you have that generate from ?
