I'd love to see an Ada binding for SFTP or a similar relatively-secure tran= sfer protocol released to an open-source repository. It would certainly rel= ieve in-house developers from having to come up with their own implementati= ons, and by placing such in an open-source repository, it would invite insp= ection from outside which may reveal dangerous flaws prior to widespread de= ployment. Even though data transfers may be monitored, and with sufficient effort the= contents of the packets extracted, there's absolutely nothing that says on= e can't implement one or more additional encryption layers prior to transmi= ssion. Think "belt and suspenders". Or, in a more relevant comparison, encr= ypting an email using GPG, Enigma, one-time pad, or whatever, then sending = it via an encrypted VPN tunnel. Just my 2p worth. Save up the change for a pint. - - 73 de N5ILN Alan
