Encrypting the login / password.

Lizzy

What facilities are there to encrypt the login information and transactions when it goes to and from the Photon server?

Hi Lizzy,

Photon uses a Diffie-Hellman-Key-exchange to set up encryption between clients and servers.

You can choose on a "per operation" basis if you want to send your data encrypted or unencrypted. See this article for more information:

I saw it now.


If anyone else is confused about encryption, please see this link:

Note to self or to anyone else:
It is not like Unity Networking where you have to download AES or RSA or whatever and then implement it yourself, encrypt or decrypt the streams manually.

The thing is ready-made for you and you set it to encrypted parameter to true/false.

// OpCustom has an overload with encryption parameter:
this.peer.OpCustom(myOpCode, opParameters, sendReliable, channel, encrypt);
