Implementing SSL shouldn't be too hard technically, the socket
connection layer in ircu is pretty well encapsulated or it was at one
time (it's been a while since I worked on the code). It'll burn some CPU
but that may or may not be an issue. Sounds like an interesting and fun
project. Do all clients support SSL connections these days? If so do
they allow connections to servers with self signed certs?

Hi there,
Searching Google shows an old but very short thread about SSL on ircu
which did not have any answer, so in light of recent word wide outrage
against the united states govt and its nsa with prism, and uk's gchq's
similar program, I was hoping to revive this feature request with a
view to more urgency for the protection and the privacy of the honest
decent citizens which contrary to usa govt beliefs, are in the vast
majority.
Our network is small, but other ircd's have and have had SSL for some
time, and we would rather not change since we know, like, and trust ircu.
My question is, do we move? Our committee has decided SSL is the way
forward,so I have ben tasked tgo find out if there is currently work
or plan of work being done on ircu for (both server and client side) SSL?
Or, is there currently no plan or work underway ?
Thankss
Laura,
