The stunnel program is designed to work as SSL encryption wrapper
|
|
|
|
|
between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server.
|
|
|
|
|
The concept is that having non-SSL aware daemons running on your
|
|
|
|
|
system you can easily setup them to communicate with clients over
|
|
|
|
|
secure SSL channel.

stunnel can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd
|
|
|
|
|
daemons like POP-2, POP-3 and IMAP servers without any changes in
|
|
|
|
|
the program code.
