I just wrote up some HTML on the WWW site here, which is set up
quite securely. It's available at
http://www.chem.surrey.ac.uk/~ch11mh/secure.htm
It consists basically of "Get a cheap single purpose machine with
a free OS, and disabled every subsystem you don't need (all but networking)
then run all the security tools you can find on it and check it every day"
I hope this is useful (a lot of questions regarding secure http
servers seem to have come up recently). This does not address encrypting
servers - I may do something on this later.
Regards,
M.
