Hey all,<br><br>Tried digging around the archives for this one, but didnt come up with much.<br><br>Just started playing with Erlang a few weeks ago, and like it a lot. Nice breath of fresh air after spending years fighting with shared memory thread programming. :)<br>
<br>Anyway, my question is in regard to communication between instances over insecure networks and/or nodes. The case example is a network of IRC servers. Having all nodes in the same Erlang instance would be nice, and would make cross server communication a snap. Only issue is that if someone intercepts the magic cookiee, they gain access to all nodes, Not a good thing.<br>
<br>Is there any way to encrypt node communication over SSL in the default runtime, or is this something that would have to be handed off to user code in a port? Another thing that would be nice to have is the ability to authenticate remote nodes based on priv/pub key authentication, possible? or does it fall into roll you own terratory?<br>
<br>thanks in advance,<br><br>--Alex<br>
