What impact does this have on developers writing web content that offers the ability to open WebRTC connections to other users, or to accept a connection from another user? I'm working on documenting WebRTC (including sample code for various usage scenarios) and need to know what (if anything) I need to adjust in my code due to this.
If my existing code doesn't outwardly do anything related to security on either the client or the server, will things continue to work as before, or will they have to update their code. Judging from everything I've read, all the security stuff is handled "under the hood" so that the everyday web developer won't have to do anything about this. I just need to be sure that's the case before I continue writing my code and articles.
