Hello,

I am trying to use SSL through ASIO and from what I've read, the
certificate functions require that the certificate be stored on disk,
use_certificate_file() and use_private_key_file() functions. What I
would like to do is have the certificate stored in memory and not
written to disk, and then somehow pass the data to ASIO/OpenSSL, is
that possible?

The idea is that I am decrypting some certificate for the application
to use, and storing the decrypted certificate on disk for usage with
the calls it makes kind of defeats the purpose secure-wise.

Thank you,
Mohammed
