zmq_curve(7) ============ NAME ---- zmq_curve - clear-text authentication SYNOPSIS -------- The CURVE mechanism defines a mechanism for secure authentication and confidentiality for communications between a client and a server. CURVE is intended for use on public networks. The CURVE mechanism is defined by this document: . SERVER AND CLIENT ROLES ----------------------- To use CURVE, the server shall set the ZMQ_CURVE_SERVER option, and the client shall set the ZMQ_CURVE_PUBLICKEY and ZMQ_CURVE_SERVERKEY socket options. Which peer binds, and which connects, is not relevant. NOTE: this isn't implemented and not fully defined. The server keypair needs to be persistent, and it would be sensible to define a format for this in CurveZMQ SEE ALSO -------- linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3] linkzmq:zmq_null[7] linkzmq:zmq_plain[7] linkzmq:zmq[7] AUTHORS ------- This page was written by the 0MQ community.
