Unet Encryption

Hi

We are currently investigating unet and had a question about encryption, and if unet has an out of the box solution?
There is this documentation, which seems to describe what we would want for our server authoritative game
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Network.InitializeSecurity.html

However it was removed in 2018.2, why is this? was it replaced?

 

Unet does not have a built in encryption system. What you linked to is from the legacy network system, not Unet. The legacy system was recently removed.

It has also been announced that Unet has been deprecated, so I'd suggest using a 3rd party network API if you're just starting a new network project. The replacement for Unet is still a ways off.

 

UNET does not support encryption at all. Also, as Joe mentioned it is being deprecated so it is very unlikely that Unity will add that feature.

That said, we have forked UNET and we are adding some features. Encryption is high on my wish list so I will probably implement it.
You can find our fork in HLAPI Community Edition (formelly known as HLAPI Pro). Feel free to ping us in discord.

 

Thanks for the information
