I am familiar with PKI and SSH handshake. In this scenario what would be responsible for securing the handshake? Can we use iptables to match public/private keys and establish a secure connection? We really like to abstract outwards the different services (i.e., leave SIP related doings to the SIP server, and handshake securing to OpenVPN?). >> OK, that won't prevent you from somebody ddos-ing you, but you could easily protect >> yourself from this using standard iptables tools. I think with PKI, and standard iptables ddos is less of an issue? Guys, thank you so much! And thank you iptables for making our networks a little more secure, and the internet a little more bearable!
