+
+Security Considerations
+=======================
+
+* Do you have any external interfaces other than RESTCONF?
+
+  * Yes, akka uses port 2550 and by default communicates with unencrypted, unauthenticated messages. Securing akka communication isn't described here, but those concerned should look at the "Configuring SSL/TLS for Akka Remoting" section at http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka//2.5.11/scala/remoting.html.
+
+* Other security issues?
+
+  * No
