Some random thoughts about security in Remoting 3.
Authentication - SASL looks like a good option to support client authentication. The API
makes it look pretty easy. I know that SRP was proposed at one point as well. Can an SRP
mechanism be added to SASL? My first glance makes me think "yes". But I
don't know how this would work with other mechanisms (e.g. GSS).
Encryption - currently there is SSL support for certain protocols (http mainly?). It does
not look to me like SSL is supported for socket/multiplex/bisocket (see my wiki posting
for how/why these could be unified). SSL/TLS should be available for the
"default" transport for sure.
