Hi all,

On the topic of encryption, has anyone every tried adding an encryption
layer (if that's the right term) into XML::RPC?  I'm thinking of a
simple public/private key mechanism using openssl, where the server
stores a list of public keys - one per authorized IP address.  Clients
would then pass their key as the first argument to any method call so
that the server could authenticate them.  Messages passed back and forth
would be encrypted.

Has anyone done this?

If so, how did it affect performance?  (I haven't actually tried it
yet).

Is this something that could be optionally integrated into the main
XML::RPC libs, or is it best left at the application level?

Regards,

Dan
