Thanks. But I doubt HMAC complication helps to protect logging server.
If shared key is compromised -server becomes vulnerable. I would
prefer approach when no code execution is possible. Some alternative
serialization way for transmitting log data structures over network.
Protocol buffers first come in mind, but they seem to be an overkill,
and stdlib doesn't include any implementation.
