[jnelson@hermes.acronet.net: Ircii-epic: [EPIC] SSL support for EPIC]

[Kaspar Landsberg <kl@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

i thought that some of you may be interested in this. I certainly am.

The mail says also something about an ircd ssl version (based on ircd-hybrid).

I am not sure whether the possible discussion about that topic belongs rather
to ircd-users or ircd-dev (or elsewhere ;). I am nonetheless setting the
reply-to to ircd-users.

Bye, Kasi

PS: Currently, i do not follow those lists on a daily basis. So if you want to
    tell something to me directly, put my into the CC.

Hello,

  I'm implementing SSL support in to EPIC4-2000. This project's homepage is
at http://epicssl.sourceforge.net/, I have set up also CVS at sourceforge. I
want to let you know, that the first working version is there and maybe it
could be nice idea to import the changes back to epic. I didn't want to
contact you before, because I wanted to make sure I'm able to make working
release. The guys also have a working SSL irc server (derivate of
ircd-hybrid). 

  We are doing this for ourselves, we want to build a completely safe IRC
network (encrypted /msgs, etc.). We would like to implement certificates
support later (i.e. there would be a possibility to configure iRC server to
accept only a client with certificate, servers would authenticate themselves
with certificates too).

  The implementation is fully compliant with RFC 1459 (irc protocol) and SSL
standards -> we do the SSL handshake and then work with irc protocol with No
changes, althrough we may be thinking about adding informations from
certificates to /whois list. The aim is to be able to connect also with some
generic stunnel with any not SSL capable IRC client or to tunnel the server
connection via stunnel.


  Please let me know what you think.


     Have a nice day,
          Juraj Bednar.
