c++ - SSL verses Encrypted Socket -

-

i building open source client/server app, not sure use, ssl (e.g. openssl) or encrypted packets on plain sockets.

i guess have few questions:

  • is there security implications using encrypted packets on plain sockets?

  • is there 'suggested' setups? know fact openssl has 1/2 million lines of code , had lot of security issues.

  • is there features (open)ssl give me a) beneficial or b) detrimental.

hopefully question has structured in such way pass moderators :)

is there security implications using encrypted packets on plain sockets?

not if done correctly. btw, ssl/tls encrypted packets on plain sockets.

is there 'suggested' setups? know fact openssl has 1/2 million lines of code , had lot of security issues.

the suggested setup use code , algorithms known good. in no case should invent own, if don't know topic.

is there features (open)ssl give me a) beneficial or b) detrimental.

the ssl/tls standard gives need. implementations had problems in past , have problems in future. might have @ libressl fork of openssl lots of cruft , unnecessary features , weak security removed. nss looks solid library had few serious problems in past compared openssl, gnutls, schannel , securetransport.

but note ssl/tls , other encryption not simple , should make comfortable concepts , pitfalls before use serious code.

i have similar problem described in how prevent numbers being changed exponential form in python matplotlib figure : i don't want (in special case) weird scientific formatting of axis. problem different have problem @ z -axis. 2-d plots can use ax.get_yaxis().get_major_formatter().set_useoffset(false) . , there no function ax.get_zaxis() what use format z -axis same way? edit: example: from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d import numpy np import sys import matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot pyplot def func(xi, ti): res = 10e3 + np.cos(ti) * np.sin(xi) return res if __name__ == '__main__': timespacing = 20 timestart = 0 timeend = 1 time = np.linspace(timestart, timeend, timespacing) widthspacing = 50 widthstart = 0 widthend = 3 width = np.linspace(widthstart, widthend, widthspacing) reslist = [] matplotlib.rcparams['legend.fontsize'] = 10 fig = pyplot.figure() ax = fig.gca(projection = '3d...

php - Best Light server (Linux + Web server + Database) for Raspberry Pi -

-
i install web server database on raspberry pi (little computer). computer has 1gb ram. i want know best combination: linux distribution , web server , dbms run local server multiple users minimal latency, use php on server. , best settings performance , not have bugs (memory usage, disable plugin, disable service, etc)? i thought light debian , lighttpd server , sqlite database. solution? i think lighttpd + sqlite great choice. linux distro, debian @ centos or tiny core linux , although i'm not sure of compatibility pi. obviously, can't go wrong raspbian if want use in production , more stable performance, few more pi's , set them in cluster .
