[Fsp-users] is FSP v3 protocol needed?

FSP v3

I am also not sure if FSP v3 is really needed. Wireless devices has auth+encryption on layer 2 level and in TCP network we can setup tunnels or IPSEC for this purpose. Also in Wifi networks, IPSEC is very often used.

I do not want to design, maintain and then implement over bloated protocol. If
you know GSM protocol specs - this is very over bloated protocol and is very
hard to implement it right.  Wireless providers have major problems with device
interoperability. SSL/TLS is another monster; implement this in hardware is
nightmare. Implement FSP v2 in 8bit chip is easy task.

When I want password protected data, i have sftp. So implementing
sftp feature set FSP v3 is waste of time.
