RE: [Quickfix-users] Re: Does QuickFix support SSL

[Joel N. <jna...@tc...>]

Oren, Heri,
Thanks for the 411!

However, like Oren said, it hasn't been touched in a while.  Still, it =
is
being used as the reference implementation by the FIX Security =
subcommittee
so its worth investigating.

With that said, stunnel is becoming more attractive.  However, I need to
sell it to some higher-ups by name-dropping organizations who have used =
it
in a production environment.

Gents, would you know of any firms that use it with QuickFix?  Or any =
firm
running FIX secured with stunnel over public networks for that matter.
Heri, have you used it in production?

Thanks in advance!
Joel
