I am thinking of adding SSL to the FET homepage. Could you tell me if that is necessary and help me with advice?
I think SSL is needed for the forum?
why SSL or TLS (Transport Layer Security ) ? it is for the secure transaction of data ( https) , it is mainly for banks and purchases and sales on the net! I think it's useless for fet forum.
not useless, because you login with a password. if someone got the password he can do bad stuff in the forum. in worst case a user use the same password for email and fet-forum. so the attacker also have got your email password. in most worst case the user use that password and email for shops like amazon. then the attacker have that.
Oh!...yes. so in this case I agree , and I attached myself to you in stating: that this is necessary .
