What do you mean by « NIO is not possible with CommonCrypto ». CommonCryto has no IO API AFAIK. This is just a low level cryptographic library that provide a couple of digest and encryption algorithms. On macOS, the recommended low-level way to do SSL is using the SecurityFramework. And here again, the API is not responsible of the IO handling. So there is not constraint about what you use for IO.
