Message 1376 - Posted: 15 Aug 2016, 18:11:02 UTC

Hello,

I'm a member of the Gridcoin community, and we're currently looking into providing better security for our crunchers.
It looks like this project isn't currently using an SSL certificate for the login page. Are there any plans to remedy this in the near future?

There's a chance that not having an SSL cert may lead to this project being removed from the project whitelist, which means it will no longer be crunched by the Gridcoin team.

The discussion regarding the whitelist can be found here: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/29841-discussion-boinc-whitelist-monitoring/?p=221133

As a longtime cruncher of Universe@home, I would like to see this project implement SSL, there's just too many security risks.

More than 2 weeks passed :-(

Does nobody consider our security as an important issue?

Somebody does, but...
I can't do it before we get funds for it. This is a government founds based project and I have 0.00 money for it until (I hope) November...
And we can't use free certificates (because of regulations).

Ps. I know, that some users would like supports us in money, and only what I can say... We can't get it... again... regulations...

Some of you know, that I get Odroids for project purposes but I get it personally as private person...

Edit: "And we can't use free certificates (because of regulations)." Ah.. that's a bit of a strange rule : /

Yes... this is only what I can tell... :(

We can use SSL, just we need to buy it... When we get next batch of money (with last batch this wasn't predicted).
