Just having the package installed does no good, I agree. A potential use could be for the box to generate self-signed TLS certificates for public-facing services, sign them with a host-specific PGP key, and publish them to key servers. That allows both owner and visitors to trust those public-facing services using Monkeysphere. > At the moment there is not SSL handling at all in plinth nor in the > freedombox setup, making both jwchat plinth and owncloud show up > without encryption and passing password in clear text.

Noone is (being loud about) working on TLS for FreedomBox. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
