In the docs for ipython, there are big warnings about the insecurity of
using ZMQ. Has anyone thought about adding authentication support to
the pyzmq bindings, similar to what is done in the multiprocessing
Connection objects?
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing#authentication-keys
(see also the examples in
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing#multiprocessing.connection.Listener)
I realize that it is not in the design scope of ZMQ itself to implement
security, but the python bindings might be the right level for at least
authentication.
Thanks,
Jason
