Quassel and Security

[GenKreton]

I have recently begun to enjoy using Quassel remotely and think it's a great program for replacing the more cumbersome Irssi/Weechat and screen method I had been using. I tend to be on the more paranoid side of things, requiring keys for my ssh and such, so I am not terrible pleased with the password authentication of Quassel.

Can anyone comment on the security / track record of Quassel?
What suggestions do you have to improve security while running it? What's the best way to limit failed login attempts?

Thanks!

Well it uses SSL, so it is at least security competent. But it hasn't really been around long enough to have a proven track record.
