It is most interesting, especially with regards to other teams.

My mind is primarily focused on the practical viewpoint of a experienced Systems Operator/Admin rather then a Cryptologist.

Lets build our own, make it work and push it live and see what crumbles. I amware that TLS and the likes are all very specialist and to the level as you wouldn't give a Ferrari owner keys to a Jet Fighter. What did spark the flame for me is that be "Free and Opensource" until it comes to crypto which then becomes a touch area of "leave it for the experts" but with full reason makes sense in a way. Maybe because I know little on the matter, that is what makes a large problem.

Learn something new everyday. Thank you for your time on the matter.

A good attitude for a weekend project, but not a good attitude for cybersecurity.

It's still very beneficial for it to be Free and Open Source. It can be studied by hobbyists and students, it can be audited and analyzed by anyone at all, or even by automated systems.

Glad it's been helpful.
