RFR for AMQP project

[jose manimala]

Hello brennan,
information security was a major problem with tibco as well. What has
been done is to ensure that the services that need to run on the
broker implement ssl and then use the ssl wrapper that comes with the
broker. And when a client needs to use one of the broker exposed
services that would also be exposed over ssl. I don't know how much
this helps. The services are best hosted on a cluster of virtual
machines.
