iChat pops up the warning dialog whenever the password is sent to the server, rather than used in a hash-based authentication protocol. However, it warns even if the password is transmitted over an authenticated SSL connection. I'll leave it to you to decide if this is: - an iChat bug - a Google security problem - in need of better documentation - all of the above - none of the above - Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
