TLS for game server #2

Open KOLANICH opened 8 years ago

KOLANICH commented 8 years ago

Thank you for https, but the game server (the one using port 25921) is still unencrypted. Though it seems to be unneeded because if you play using special app privacy risks (keystroke biometrics) are mitigated by sending info at once and thus destroying such kind of info.

I know the EFF would disagree, but I don't see the point in using TLS everywhere. I there is no crucial or important information sent (besides, theoretically the keystrokes, but what would you plan on doing with a half solved regular expression?) since the protocol is well specified.

I'm going to leave this open for debate, but for the sake of simplicity, I wouldn't put any manpower into adding TLS for now.
