             Summary: [c] Make SSL/TLS usage more secure by default
                 Key: PROTON-2021
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2021
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: proton-c
            Reporter: Andrew Stitcher
            Assignee: Andrew Stitcher


There are some aspects of using TLS with proton-c that are awkward and by 
default less secure than thye could be.

A good example of this is that it is tricky to set up to verify peer names 
against the system default ca certificate list. Even though this is carefully 
set up under many (most?) modern OS distributions.

Another example is that for a client on the internet verifying peer names is 
the only safe way to use TLS, but this is not the default.
