RevConference - Client Server vs Stateless

[Jerry Daniels]

Trevor,

The one site where I have had to address security concerns we get our 
data from files, not a database. In that case, I encrypt my data into 
stacks and password protect the site. I am also looking forward to SSL 
in Rev which we can hopefully use more discreetly than our browser 
brothers, otherwise it's gonna be slow-w-w-w.

In another application we are behind the firewall, and remote uses will 
be VPN.

Hope that helps some.

Best,

Jerry
