Title: Lite Client SSL
Post by: AliceWonder on July 18, 2013, 11:35:48 AM
I searched for lite client SSL and got no results.

The lite clients, as I understand it, query external servers for the data they need. Is this done over SSL?

Reason I ask is if it is not done over SSL, then couldn't someone sniffing the wire identify public addresses to IP address thus making it easier to identify owners of specific addresses?
