SSL certificates support
Mon, 16/06/2008 - 16:46 — nicolas
Hi,
Two questions regarding security in Coccinella:
1/ Is there any plan for client-to-server authentication using SSL certificates ? I mean that the user would be able to provide is own SSL certificate (either file based or through windows certificate store, or keychain on OS X, os similar certificate store under Linux)?
2/ Is there any plan for client-to-client encryption using certificates (same as above, either using a certificate stored in the system, or a in the filesystem)?
Best regards,
Nicolas.

For point 2 I was thinking about using SMIME to encrypt messages. I think iChat provides this feature.

That seems to be only a proposed standard. I'll ask the author.
