Research direction

Start by reviewing issue 706 and the linked Conan OpenSSL recipe, then locate where the crypto libraries are hardcoded in the repository. Done means the project consumes the upstream OpenSSL sources or packages instead of the hardcoded libraries; the issue does not name a specific file or test.
