I fired that page across earlier without such a good introduction though did you miss it or was it censored? Knowing SSL is very capable such as for encrypting files and a tiny percentage of it is used normally and whilst I do guess gpg is a better fit. A quick glance at the SSL man page does mention this. Handling of S/MIME signed or encrypted mail and so may work if used right with the danger being that it may not be?. I'm not sure if SSL lends itself better to the web technologies that will be used server (I'm unsure about gpg support on windows servers) and phone side though. I guess the employed web technologies of the entire system need fully defining first and so all of the desirable potential endgoals before that. _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
