Package Information

Description:
Curve - authentication and encryption library Curve implements the CurveZMQ elliptic curve security mechanism, for use in ZeroMQ applications. This library is primarily a reference implementation for the CurveZMQ specification but may also be used for end-to-end security. The ZeroMQ core library has its own implementation of CurveZMQ over TCP, since July 2013. The Curve library is intended: To facilitate CurveZMQ implementations in other languages by providing a reference implementation. To provide security for older versions of ZeroMQ. To provide end-to-end security over untrusted intermediaries, for instance between two chat clients connected over a public ZeroMQ-based chat server. To provide security over other transports that fit the one-to-one model (it will not work over multicast).
