This makes the whole discussion sort of moot, right ? Speaking for the devil's advocate... The point of insecurity does not hold up if you look at RFC 5062. And we had TCP/UDP for many years and they are still serving their purpose well, so why change ? So give it a chance, only then there will be feedback and only then we can fix the problems. Otherwise it will stay just theoretical. - Ruben --Apple-Mail-19-1000488860 content-type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: This is a digitally signed message part content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHz7CAZ88+mcQxRw0RAgnZAJ4khFJfySNMFQy/j55N8zi0Y5M6xgCdFX8d YdY39I7oCFzLugsSuHrif9Y= =c/3L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-19-1000488860--
