Re: [dtn-security] Is there a "secure" reference implementation of the DTN stack?

["Graham Keellings (Leonix Solutions Pte Ltd)" <[e-mail]>]

hi, Peter,

  there is an agreed upon standard "reference implementation" of DTN 2.6 
and Oasys 1.3, but  it lacks security features.

Now, let us say that someone wants a "secure" implementation - but 
doesn't care about the details of "secure", just that it is generally 
agreed to be "secure" (or (much) more so than the standard 
implementation. Is there a reference build for that which can be downloaded?

My guess is that everyone's perception of "secure" differs and that even 
for one person it is a matter of trade-offs, but I just though that I 
would  ask if there is some consensus on what it means for DTN to be 
"secure".

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply.

With best wishes,

Graham
