<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Wendell, there isn’t really anything that can be done to SIP2 to make it secure without making it not-SIP2. That said, what can be done is to transfer it over an encrypted channel. I know some Evergreen and Koha systems handle SIP2 this
way and I suspect TLC is doing the same. This tunneling can be done with stunnel (an openssl TLS tunnel) or ssh port redirection and most vendors are capable of dealing with one or the other.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There’s nothing special needed in Evergreen to handle this; you just need to setup SIPServer to listen to a local IP rather than a public one and coordinate with the vendor what type of tunnel to use. I realize this is pretty non-specific
but if you have any questions I or someone else on the list should be able to help out.<o:p></o:p></p>

Apparently, one vendor, TLC claims they have an encryption solution for SIP2, but I question whether it actually works or not, and TLC is another proprietary system, which we are trying to avoid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
