rugk Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think it would be good if you could provide HTTPS on the websites.And as you can even get free SSL certificates from CAs like Startcom (Startssl) or Let's Encrypt, which will be available soon, it should be even possible without any extra costs.There are some things you could protect from modification and interception:user passwords and session keys (on this forum)binary downloads/instructions for downloading (If you don't want to offer HTTPS binary downloads you can also just print a hash on an HTTPS site anddonation instructions/links (to be sure your donations arrive correctly, ...)the system information submitted by 0 A.D. (I did not tested it but I assume it just uses a normal HTTP connection)and of course you would have more advantages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi, we considered that indeed, and we decided to do nothing because of the prohibitive price of certificates. But we also heard about Let's Encrypt and will definitely look into it when it's available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes the price of many CAs is really bad. But there are some which offer free certificates. Besides Let's Encrypt also StartSSL or WoSign are known to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) FYI LE is in the public beta now!https://letsencrypt.org/2015/12/03/entering-public-beta.htmlAnd the certs are trusted by all major browsers already, so you can now easily get your cert.
