do you have a link to the source code for it handy?
You can either see the Haiku specific parts in the haikuports patch for
wpa_supplicant:
http://bb.haikuports.org/haikuports/src/c456987b38ab552eb2db20ef53b57fbf0384f67f/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant/patches/wpa_supplicant-2.0.patch?at=master
Or, maybe more straight forward, not in patch format:
https://github.com/mmlr/wpa_supplicant-haiku/blob/master/wpa_supplicant/main_haiku.cpp
The keystore does not do encryption yet. Same as Ryan, I happen to have
started a CryptoKit and got stuck with it. It was based on an abstract
kit that would use add-ons to provide the actual encryption and hashing
code. So there would eventually be an OpenSSL based add-on providing all
its crypto functions, but the user would be free to install additional
functions while still using the CryptoKit API. I can't really remember
how far I got, I could try resurrecting the code fragments I wrote.
I still think having a CryptoKit that allows for easily enumerating
available hash/crypto functions and using them with a unified API is
worth some effort. At least the glimps into OpenSSL when researching how
to put it into an add-on made me never want to use it directly.
