Wikipedia says that OpenSSL[^] supports DTLS, but I really don't know how efficient it is.

You might as well consider truecrypt or crypto++, etc., but since you're operating on real-time data (UDP), these things may possibly slow down the whole process. I'll stick with DTLS, since it's designed specifically for that purpose.
