Security and TOFU

Nothing in this life is completely fail- or hack-proof, but I think KDE
Connect security is, at this point, pretty decent :)

Since the recent version 1.0, it uses SSL and trust-on-first-use, like SSH
(which you could say is not hack-proof either, nothing is). Of course, SSH
has likely been audited way more than kdeconnect, so if you are a security
specialist and want to check kdeconnect for implementation errors or other
security flaws, it would be of great help!
