[zeromq-dev] ZMTP security

[Pieter Hintjens]

I just added a test case to test_security_curve where the client tries
to connect to a server socket configured with CURVE, while using a
NULL mechanism. This is what libzmq logs:

    NULL I: client sent invalid NULL handshake (not READY)

And it does reject the connection. So that seems to work properly.
Same thing when I try to use a PLAIN user/password.

In the current source,   zmq::stream_engine_t::handshake sets up the security mechanism based on the greeting received from the peer, but does not seem to validate that against what was sent to the peer or specified in the socket options.  Am I missing something?
