godot network security, handshake and keys?

newmodels

Do I understand it right when looking at the documentation, that I can sign my own ssl certificates and that will keep it secure? Is that for http only, or does it apply to the game networking, netpeer?

If not, can I create my own cryptography using a single key, and provide that key to client at connection time? So far godot is perfect for an MMO, but I am worried about security over the network. I am afraid the players could get hijacked. They could also get routed to an alien server.

SSL certificates are only used for HTTP requests; the low-level and high-level network APIs of Godot won't use them.

If you plan on using them, note that you can add your own certificates to the certificate bundle exported with the project, but it's probably a better idea to use something such as Let's Encrypt so that your certificate is trusted outside of your exported project.
