Security Library 2.2.2 Release Notes

The Security Library for Open AT: an Open AT library, ready to be integrated into customer application thanks to a high level simple and generic SSL API set. See “Security User’s Manual” for API description and porting guidelines..
The Crypto Sample application: This application is available in source code. This application uses the cryptographic API to demonstrate how to encrypt, decrypt or sign different messages
The Client Sample application: This application is available in source code. This application uses the WIP SSL API to exchange information with an SSL server.
The HTTPS Sample application: This application is available in source code. This application uses the WIP SSL API to exchange information with an HTTPS server.

The Security_AT_cmd sample application (so called WIPSSLSoft): an application offering AT commands on top of Security Library . This application is available in source code and in binary allowing customer to use it as an example, to integrate it in its application, or to enhance it. See “Security AT Commands Interface Guide” for description of the Security AT commands implemented
