+
+ \brief Classes for secure communication over network sockets.
+ \keyword SSL
+
+ The classes below provide support for secure network communication using
+ the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, using the \l{OpenSSL Toolkit} to
+ perform encryption and protocol handling.
+
+ See the \l{General Qt Requirements} page for information about the
+ versions of OpenSSL that are known to work with Qt.
+
+ \note Due to import and export restrictions in some parts of the world, we
+ are unable to supply the OpenSSL Toolkit with Qt packages. Developers wishing
+ to use SSL communication in their deployed applications should either ensure
+ that their users have the appropriate libraries installed, or they should
+ consult a suitably qualified legal professional to ensure that applications
+ using code from the OpenSSL project are correctly certified for import
+ and export in relevant regions of the world.
+
+ When the QtNetwork module is built with SSL support, the library is linked
+ against OpenSSL in a way that requires OpenSSL license compliance.
