Hi, we are currently planning on using coda at our university. For reasons of simpicicity we want to share the password databse with the unix password. I know - the RPC2 protocol ist definitely not secure enough to do so. This is why we are currently working on some ideas: - Authentication (Are you really my server?) via RSA, probably using the ssh-keys. - Encryption via blowfish instead of XOR. The whole thing will be available on european servers, no worrying about patents or export regulations ;) Are you interested in this solutions? Has anyone worked on anything like this yet? And last, but not least: Would these thing be sufficient for security? please cc: me on any followups, since i am not on the list mfG Max Berger e-mail: max.berger_at_xslt.de -- XSLT: http://www.xslt.de/ PGP/GnuPG ID: E81592BC Sysop: http://www7.in.tum.de/ http://phobos.fs.tum.de/pgp/max.berger.asc FSMPI: http://www.fs.tum.de/FSMPI/ F489F8759D4132923EC4 BC7E072AB73AE81592BCReceived on 2000-11-21 10:46:08
