Data transferred in optionally encrypted using a preshared key, providing a layer of security to what is otherwise plain text.
Encryption is enabled on either the client or server by calling
SetEncryptionKey(string key).The encryption is AES and the data sent is preceeded by a randomised Initialisation Vector (IV).
Admittedly, this kind of encryption is only safe in limited scenarios (server-to-server) because a preshared key could not be provided to a public client. This project has always been geared towards RPC within closed environments, such as kubernetes clusters. A more public-friendly solution may be added in a later version.
