Re: SKIp

anybody have any opinions on SKIP (Sun's IP level encryption). How does it compare for encrypting between machines to something like ssh? (Obviously ssh is more portable, other than that)

SKIP and ssh perform very different operations. SKIP is an IP-level encryption engine (ala IP-SEC), whereas ssh is an application-level encryption engine. You can run ssh on top of SKIP. And using SKIP I can encrypt every single IP packet leaving my machine; you can't do that with ssh. Does this help? -derek
