Hi! At the last meeting we had a talk about implementing TLS/SSL in RIPE mail servers to avoid sniffing clear-text passwords in RIPE DB update requests. Is there any news? ;) -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

Well, it was an action item on the RIPE NCC to evaluate what possible problems could come along with that (like "mail program XYZ has bugs that prevent sending to ESMTP senders with TLS"), and if nothing serious shows up, come up with an implementation plan... I'd say it's somewhat too soon to expect results yet.

This is on our list and we will look into this. We haven't evaluated implications of deploying TLS in our mail system yet, but once this is done we will present an implementation proposal and the plan. Regards, Andrei Robachevsky RIPE NCC
