25 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: gvpectrl -g will now generate a single |
|
|
26 | keypair, while -G will try to generate all keypairs as before. |
|
|
27 | - openssl 1.0.2 is the latest supported openssl release, |
|
|
28 | openssl 1.1.0 is not supported at the moment as the work to |
|
|
29 | make it compatible to both versions is just too much. a switch |
|
|
30 | to openssl 1.1 or another library will be done in a future release. |
|
|
31 | - update examples to not generate keys centrally, but locally on each |
|
|
32 | node. |
|
|
33 | - add workaround for temporary/rare ENOBUFS condition. |

48 | - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. |
|
|
49 | - switch to counter mode (only aes supported at the moment in |
|
|
50 | openssl). this gets rid of the need to generate a random iv, |
|
|
51 | is likely more secure (and, as a side effect, gets rid of |
|
|
52 | slow randomness generation. counter mode is often faster |
|
|
53 | then cbc mode as well, and packets are smaller). |

40 | - 12 random prefix bytes are now properly supported, leading to |
|
|
41 | a fully random IV. |
|
|
42 | - use aes with a random key in counter-mode to generate IVs, |
|
|
43 | for speed reasons (generating 12 random bytes with openssl can |
|
|
44 | take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs |
|
|
45 | do not need to be cryptographically strong random numbers |
|
|
46 | (and in fact, shouldn't be)). |

73 | - update for big changes in openssl 1.1 API, wrap primitives |
|
|
74 | to make further changes easier. |
