gnuTLS or SSL in cocoa

I have a server I am trying t communicate to and it requires the usage of gnuTLS or SSL encryption. Is it possible for开发者_运维知识库 me to include the certificate in my cocoa application and use it for SSL communication and do I really need to use gnuTLS or is there any other way of using SSL connection from cocoa?

To address the second question, it requires TLS or SSL. gnuTLS is just one implementation of TLS. If it's compliant, there is no way for the server to know which implementation you're using, and if it isn't compliant practically nobody will be able to interoperate with it, so why be the first?

Most people use OpenSSL from C or C++.
