In the current public release (0.2.0), security is not implemented properly. There is no authentication of users nor encryption of network traffic. This is a high priority for addressing in future releases. Please email the jstyx-users mailing list if you would like this to be enabled urgently: this will encourage the developers and we might be able to send you an early version of a future release or direct you to the source code repository.
A security mechanism based upon secure authentication of users, Unix-style fine-grained access control to individual Styx files and SSL-based encryption of network traffic is under development.
