SSL and TLS Essentials: Securing the Web by Stephen A. Thomas ISBN: 0471383546 thanks. hopefully you'll see that many of your conclusions are based on what may very well be a poor understanding of what TLS/SSL are and how they work. while an applicaton would have to learn how to speak SSL/TLS to use it natively, various wedge applications can do the SSL tunneling, negotiation etc for naive apps or ones you can't force SSL into (ie no source). hope that helps. (FWIW, for VPNs i prefer IPsec tunnels.) ____________________________ jose nazario joseat_private PGP: 89 B0 81 DA 5B FD 7E 00 99 C3 B2 CD 48 A0 07 80 PGP key ID 0xFD37F4E5 (pgp.mit.edu) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: loganalysis-unsubscribeat_private For additional commands, e-mail: loganalysis-helpat_private
