Re: [Quickfix-developers] Encryption

[<gar...@su...>]

Since quickfix and one of our counterparties don't support FIX encryption,
we use stunnel to provide encryption over the communication protocol.  It
basically sets up an SSL connection between the two FIX engies.  It doesn't
require any changes at all to our implementation of our quickfix based
engine.

Hello all,

I have a question about encryption in general with FIX and somewhat with
quickfix.

Is anyone encrptying their FIX messages right now and how has the process
been of
encrypting and decryting from either side?

Any gotchas out there with the FIX protocol and excryption?

I was thinking about using the OpenSSL library so we can write one code
base (for the most part)
and run it on *NIX and Windows. Anyone use the same scenario.

Will quickfix offer any encryption plugins in the future?


Sorry if this is somewhat off topic.

Thanks,

JD
