What is the advantage over just using nginx to terminate SSL?
- kelnos 11y agoPresumably the "do one thing and one thing well" principle (assuming hitch actually does it well). Your attack surface is reduced by orders of magnitude if you're worried about future OpenSSL vulnerabilities.
- retr0h 11y agoWonder why LibreSSL wasn't used... :/
- lkarsten 11y agoThe reason is pretty simple: LibreSSL isn't available/packaged on the distributions we care about, and we don't have the will, money or knowledge to do it ourselves. (with my VS hat on) We are positive to merging any code changes necessary to get it running with libressl though.
