None. If you want to transfer something making eavesdropping possible, encrypt the content end to end. Everything else must be considered as insecure. Although, older SSL/TLS versions have some weaknesses and when they are not offered, they can't be used, not even for downgrading attacks. Many clients support an option to enforce TLS/STARTTLS. That will fail in such a situation. -- kind regards Marco Send spam to 1710315573mu...@cartoonies.org _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
