 Description   

Its my understanding that traffic between mongos/mongoc/mongod (including traffic between members of a replica set) happens in clear text. (Except for user logins, which are hashed.

If thats the case then:

  • is there plan to support some kind of traffic encryption in a future release3?
  • what strategies do you recommend to encrypt this traffic within a single datacenter? I'm assuming this is a tunneling approach.

Thanks.

Yes, you can build with SSL support now as seen by the linked issue. This will support data transport encryption.

More clients are being added as needed.
