I own a server Ubuntu on the web and have full control of it, is a VPS, have a restful done in django I can read quietly on Delphi7 with the superobjects.
My concern is that this communication is text, so any Sniffer can capture the data trafficked and easily interpret it, I studied the basics of SSL/TLS and how it works, I can set up a OPENSSL on the server, my question is the following, I have several clients in Delphi running, I will have to download the private key and configure it on each machine to be able to connect to form secure?
I know using openssl with gmail and Hotmail no need to download anything into the client, it already authenticates transparently by passing only the login and password.
I get something similar by making https using the Delphi7 with Indy for example, what I want to avoid is installing certificates, this will take a lot of work.
