Roland is right! Secure RSS is important and may be a critical next step in the evolution of RSS that may lead to hosting and management tools specifically for this information syndication standard.

"I wish someone would solve the Secure RSS feature so we could apply some kinid of ACL to our subcriptions.  I'd love to be able to subscribe to each member of our company and get their RSS feeds from anywhere I want - NOT just inside the firewall." --<a href="http://weblogs.e-xact.com/0000003/2003/06/17.html" target="_blank">Pete's Blog</a> (Peter Fahlman)Well stated Pete. We've intimated many times in this Weblog that security within a user's context is critical to proper information architecture. The ability to create, manage, and host secure RSS feeds will soon emerge as a requirement both inside and outside business firewalls. "And even cooler, you can  override the channel permissions on a per item basis." --<a href="http://www.rolandtanglao.com/2003/09/15.html#a5437" target="_blank">Roland Tanglao</a>Already we've seen an increase in questions about MyST's ability to provide item-level security and permissions. This requirement will grow in importance as content providers attempt to monetize and control where and how their RSS feeds are consumed. Enterprises are looking for similar functionality as they find increasing benefits of moving knowledge or creating better awareness with RSS."You can create an RSS feed (called channels in MyST parlance) and that channel can be served using SSL.  SSL RSS feeds can then be protected via basic authentication.  This requires an RSS reader like <a href="http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/index.asp" target="_blank">FeedDemon</a> that can cope with basic authentication over SSL." --<a href="http://www.rolandtanglao.com/2003/09/15.html#a5437" target="_blank">Roland Tanglao</a>And newsreaders like <a href="http://newsgator.com/" target="_blank">NewsGator</a> will help to transform adoption and wide spread use of secure RSS in enterprises. 9 application/xml false secure RSS MyST Smart Channels does secure RSS! Well, I finally got around to testing MyST Smart Channels and it looks the have done it! Kudos to the MyST team. http://www.rolandtanglao.com/2003/09/15.html#a5437 Secure RSS? As more and more businesses start to look at RSS as a viable data publishing format (a trend that appears to be taking off).. it would make sense to be able to secure RSS feeds with either a digital signature or even by encrypting the contents of individual items. http://www.snellspace.com/blog/archives/000408.html Lockergnome RSS Resources http://rss.lockergnome.com Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 aseidl 68.40.167.222 false true false false true 190014 false false true false false false true 214 blog blogsite/MySTHome/web
