ssl secures communications to and from the client and server. it does not do anything to secure data after being decrypted by the server. it would be trivial to log keys being input, for both kalphiter and lub. |
| Ephialtes:
I'm not sure what your point is - I think everyone understands that in order to host with your own key you're going to need to give your key to the service hosting your server in one way or another, so you might as well do it via a secure page. |
| Lugnut:
the page is only secure from rogue users on your network from sniffing. not from you guys. once the key is in the game, all is okay as the key.dat cannot be moved, and playing blockland via vnc is loving handicapped. the question lies in the medium: even ingame eval mods can be rigged to log. remote console /is/ logged. so i ask the community: how much do you trust your dedicated service provider? do you trust them with your identity? ps this applies to kalphiter too |

This url: http://69.64.43.11/key.php is 100% unsecure and nobody's going to know the difference if a link were posted to http://12.34.56.78/key.php --- Quote from: Lugnut on October 25, 2012, 03:18:14 AM ---so i ask the community: how much do you trust your dedicated service provider? do you trust them with your identity? --- End quote --- Okay - so you were just being dramatic then. This isn't even worth discussing - if they can't trust us with their key then they won't buy a server. Simples. |

Plus if anything went wrong, I know who to blame and hopefully badspot would help me out. |
