Remove SSL keys #177

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

The SSL keys should not be needed for anonymous mode (aECDH).

And they would be worthless anyway as the private key is publicly available.

They are included due to a deficiency in python's SSL implementation. The code won't be able to act as a SSL server if you remove the keys. It took me several days to find this. Cryptographically, the keys are ignored.
