Encrypted Protocols

blueberry · Post by **blueberry** » 30 Aug 2009, 18:53

Hello,

just thought in times of monitoring and data storage by governments it would be nice to have all Protocols encrypted.
It might be hard or even impossible to implement this in eAthena, but might be possible to add this feature in tmwServ and client.

Have you ever thought of that, or is it a no-go in your opinion?

I don't think that it would be hard to add TLS support to server and client.

But considering that we are talking about a game here and not a banking application I consider encryption unnecessary.

eAthena already has some encrypted packets.

The question is how strong this encryption really is and if these packets are anything vital to the users privacy.

Best and easiest way would be to put a 128 or 256 bit SSL on it.

Or if its just for whispers, you could implement pgp encrypted whispers built into the client.

SSL has been depreciated by TLS, Kage.

Packet 0x1dd looks to be encrypted login.

We could.

Hi,

We should

Except for the login stage, which part of the protocol should be encrypted?
