[Quickfix-developers] Extending Quickfix to handle encryption

[Jon D. <jd...@Li...>]

We currently have a wrapper around the OpenSSL library and would like to =
encrypt our
data as much as possible. The encryption would start at login and not =
end until
the session is logged off. That being said, I would like to be able to =
encrypt/decrypt
at the transfer layer. What I mean by that is once a message gets to the =
Application
class, it is already decrypted.

At what layer(class) would I have to do this at? At what rung of the =
ladder does the
decryption have to happen before Quickfix will choke with an Invalid =
Message?

We don't want to tunnel through hardware, or VPN. It is to much of a =
hassle at the firewall
for our clients and ourselves to manage. One ping(port) only please.

Thanks,

JD
