[Bug 841189] Re: Encryption under NMDC

 

DCNF does indeed support NMDC, if that is the word you would like to
use. However, the primary role for DCNF in regards to NMDC at the moment
is just that of retaining information for all intents and purposes.

As far as I am aware there are no plans to actively develop NMDC
further, in any capacity, at least no-one has indicated such when it
comes to DCNF. As far as client developers are concerned everyone has to
make their own call on this issue as DCNF has no direct power over
client developers. As far as I know DCNF also has no official opinion on
encryption in NMDC as such.

However, what I can say is that an implementation for TLS in NMDC does
indeed exist, whether DC++ or any other client chooses to implement that
or some other variant of TLS for NMDC is up to every project
individually.

What DCNF can do is document the protocol extensions for NMDC, and I use
that term loosely, and honestly from the top of my head I am unsure if
this is currently the case or not.

Title:
  Encryption under NMDC

Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  Well it seems like a popular demand so lets drag this topic thru the
  mud once again

  as we all know it is possible to encrypt c-c transfers but now there
  is also the option to encrypt c-h traffic aswell and since nmdc is
  predominant on direct connect it would benefit dc++ too actually
  encrypt this traffic since mods already have this support again
  strongdc++ along with all its subclients
