Amazon just wrote a TLS crypto library in only 6,000 lines of C code

At 1/10 the size of OpenSSL, it should be easier to spot bugs

If I've read correctly, it only implements TLS using OpenSSL's crypto libraries.
It's less than 1/10 the size of OpenSSL's TLS implementation, but closer to a hundredth of the total size of OpenSSL.

It is only for servers hosting TLS but the end user still needs to run openssl , Unless i misunderstood it.
