I've a huge fan of all things electronic security (working in this space for a living).... but personally, I see little benefit in SSL for IRC, because of the very architecture model.
Unless you're speaking with another client on the same server, or all people in a channel you're on is on the same server, you'd end up with a false sense of security. Without guaranteeing that ALL client<->server connections are encrypted, and any server<->server connections in between are as well, you could never be sure that the end to end path is encrypted and thus MIM attacks are mitigated. So without that scenario, wouldn't the client be fooled into a false sense of security? /2 cents - Empus On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Panesar, Amrit <apane...@4195tech.com>wrote: > Greetings ircu developers, > > After much searching yet to no avail, I have been unable to find a > patch or even a discussion for SSL support in ircu > > What particular hurdles stand in the way? > _______________________________________________ > Coder-com mailing list > Coder-com@undernet.org > http://undernet.sbg.org/mailman/listinfo/coder-com >
