Hi all, Just a quick question about the svsd protocol....
Is it true that a certificate and key pair must both be present on the client and server in order to carry out a connection? So presumably, when the client wishes to connect to the server, it encrypts the data with the (private) certificate, the server decrypts it using the (public) key and then as the correct cert was used to encrypt the data, the client is authed? Why do it this way rather than having the client connect using its own cert-key combo and have the client's public key in the servers list of keys that are allowed to connect (a la SSHv2 publickey)? Just curious. :) See ya, -- Ben Kennish [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS: Sorry about using so much of people's bandwidth recently with my list posts recently - as you can tell, I have started working full-time on FreeVSD again! ;) ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
