Bug#211347: ITP: crywrap -- Simple TCP service encryption using TLS/SSL



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : crywrap
  Version         : 0.2.0 (To be released soon)
  Upstream Author : Gergely Nagy <algernon@bonehunter.rulez.org>

  Description     : Simple TCP service encryption using TLS/SSL

 CryWrap is a simple Unix service that sits over any simple
 TCP service such as POP3, IMAP, SMTP and encrypts all of
 the data on the connection using TLS/SSL. It can run as a
 standalone daemon, or from inetd, and can encrypt data for
 remote services too.
 .
 It works with the servers you already have and does not
 require any modifications to your existing servers.
 .
 CryWrap is intended to be a drop-in replacement for sslwrap.

(The original purpose of CryWrap was to write something more stable
than sslwrap, which stopped accepting connections every few days on a
friends box, and proved to be royally unstable. CryWrap has been
running for more than two months on the same server, and Just
Works(tm). Even though the command-line syntax is pretty different, a
compatibility script, which takes sslwrap-like options and translates
them for CryWrap, is also provided)
