Hi, since we did not agree on the aims and implementation for Secure Communication, I'll start an new effort on getting the agreement.
The sole aim of Secure Communication is: * prevent eavesdropping <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eavesdropping> To prevent eavesdropping, two things have to be ensured: 1) Ensure nobody else is able to "listen" 2) Ensure we are talking to the *right* person/server Otherwise we could talk to the eavesdropper without knowing it. So there would be nobody else listening, but we where simply talking to the wrong person/server. Do we all agree on this? -- Schönen Gruß - Regards Hartmut Goebel Dipl.-Informatiker (univ.), CISSP, CSSLP Goebel Consult Spezialist für IT-Sicherheit in komplexen Umgebungen http://www.goebel-consult.de Monatliche Kolumne: http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/ Goebel Consult mit Mitglied bei http://www.7-it.de
