Hi,

I read excellently written article "Strong Encryption with RTC remote functions". One question though needs clarification. In a setup where RTC remote functions are used with built-in encryption, and then SSL encryption is added via plugins, what is the final result? Does SSL somehow deactivates built-in encryption functionality, or the final message is technically encrypted twice?

Thanks!

The encryption functionality provided by TRtcClientModule and TRtcServerModule components is NOT related to SSL/TLS encryption available for TRtcHttpClient and TRtcHttpServer components. Adding SSL/TLS encryption to a TRtcHttpClient/TRtcHttpServer component does NOT deactivate RTC encryption set up on the TRtcClientModule/TRtcServerModule components. So .... if you enable RTC encryption on TRtcClientModule and TRtcServerModule components and use SSL/TLS encryption with TRtcHttpClient and TRtcHttpServer components, your data will be encrypted twice, using two entirely different encryption mechanisms.
