Re: Centralizing logs throug internet

[Florian Osses <webmaster () dijeridu net>]

Hi Nicolas,

I don't see any possibility to secure a UDP Connection.
Cause the simple UDP Protocol does not support any handshaking or 
statefull connection. This is why UDP is so much faster than TCP. It 
does not verify connections.

greets,
Florian Osses
