Description

Hello,

I want to deliver a software and keep security data hidden, so I don't want it to be on the filesystem.
In order to do that, I would like to load key, cert, passphrase and ca from memory and not from the filesystem, is it possible ?
I see only file name parameters in us_socket_context_options_t struct.
