There's a saying, "don't roll your own crypto," and it's good advice.

In the case of openssl, you might be better off rolling your own. At least the vulnerabilities you end up with are different than the ones that the rest of the world has.

the deeper and deeper ive gotten into breaking crypto. the more and more ive come to the conclusion that saying is positively poisen.

"dont try and do it all on your own but trust no one else to do it for you" probably better.

An open, modular project with a wide choice of options would be a godsend and wipe out most digital crime almost overnight.

Of course, then, they couldnt use the likes of yahoo and google to read drug dealers emails.
