More secure interprocess communication #27

Closed philipstarkey closed 4 years ago

philipstarkey commented 7 years ago

Original report (archived issue) by Ian B. Spielman (Bitbucket: Ian Spielman, GitHub: ispielma).

More secure interprocess communication so that labscript programs are safe to run on networks that aren't necessarily entirely trusted. ChrisB has a plan

Original comment by Philip Starkey (Bitbucket: pstarkey, GitHub: philipstarkey).

In case @chrisjbillington wasn't aware of this, ZMQ servers can be made to only allow communication from specific IP addresses really easily. I've done it before in another project and it works great (not sure if the required change ever permanently made it to zprocess without bugs though!)

Closing this as v3.0.0 turns on secure communication by default.
