SSLClient adds [TLS 1.2](https://www.websecurity.symantec.com/security-topics/what-is-ssl-tls-https) functionality to any network library implementing the [Arduino Client interface](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ClientConstructor), including the Arduino [EthernetClient](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/EthernetClient) and [WiFiClient](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFiClient) classes. In other words, SSLClient implements encrypted communication through TLS on devices that do not otherwise support it. Unlike [ArduinoBearSSL](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoBearSSL), SSLClient is completly self-contained, and does not require any additional hardware (other than a network connection).

SSLClient officially supports SAMD21, ESP32, TIVA C, and STM32, but should work on any board with at least 110kb flash and 7kb RAM. SSClient does not currently support ESP8266 (see [this issue](https://github.com/OPEnSLab-OSU/SSLClient/issues/5#issuecomment-569968546)) or AVR due to memory contraints on both platforms.
