To the best of my knowledge the comm encryption (tls) is working fine. However, there is an open bug report #807 on the data encryption (pki) on Windows systems, which I have not been able to duplicate -- any additional testing by other people would be welcome. > I'm about to try it, i've got both of those working on FreeBSD, i'm about to > add a linux client, and two windows machines, with a third bsd box in the > future.

Aside from resolving the above bug, my biggest concern with the data encryption code is that the documentation is not as complete as some users would like -- it is fine for those who understand encryption, certificates, and all that, but it is not sufficiently detailed for novices. Any "contributions" to improve the manual would be appreciated. The questions that seem to come up the most often involve how to configure the other daemons (I think I example shows only one), and how to generate, deploy, and use a master key. > I did notice a difference between data encryption > on and off a performance hit and posted it.

There is not much we can do about that, since I see nothing terribly inefficient in the code.
