Re: security in P2P

[Mike S <mikeofmany () gmail com>]

So if this is a private network, upon submitting the file for
tracking, one can setup the hash of the file. Then if the file is
modified, that hash can be compared against the modified file, to me
this seems like the only way to have a detection based on anomaly.

Otherwise, If it is my network, and I do not control the P2P network,
then I would choose not to allow such traffic in order to protect
against such things as are out of my control.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
