   Hello Alan,

   Security against what threats and privacy against which snooping eyes?   
      
   The biggest potential invasion of privacy in Fidonet are sysops snooping om in   
   transit mail. TLS does not protect against that. The best strategy against   
   snooping governments is to not be of interest. I doubt TLS is safe against the   
   resources of governments.

   Binkd already has build in encryption. I do not think the added value of TLS   
   is worth the effort and overhead. Not for Fidonet...

   I don't know. If I'd have to go through the hassle of getting a certificate   
   and pay for it and renew it every tweo years, probably not. And I do not trust   
   LetsEncrypt.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
