#15783: Offer secure logins by default
-------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: re-porter | Owner: rekkanoryo
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: unclassified
Version: 2.10.3 | Keywords: ssl, nsa, defaults
-------------------------+--------------------------------
As you might know, security became more important in this days of
governmental espionage. Thus I like to suggest that pidgin should
encourage the users to enable SSL logins and transport by default.
remark: Yep, if NSA has direct access to ICQ, no SSL will help you, but
here we are talking about a variety of protocols, so also Jabber, IRC, ...
that at least encrypts till the operating server.
