|
24 | - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0. |
|
|
25 | - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session |
|
|
26 | could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange. |
|
|
27 | - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now |
|
|
28 | adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect |
|
|
29 | forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF. |
|
|
30 | - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072). |
|
|
31 | correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576. |
|
|
32 | - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption. |
|
|
33 | - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but |
|
|
34 | only missing private keys. private keys are also put |
|
|
35 | into the configured location. |
|
|
36 | - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. |
|
|
37 | - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED |
|
|
38 | a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the |
|
|
39 | openssl documentation). |

46 | - core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
|
|
47 | - switch to using RSA_generate_key_ex, which is the badly documented |
|
|
48 | and needlessly more complicated replacement for the RSA_generate_key |
|
|
49 | function which is now deprecated. |
|
|
50 | - support additional hmac hashes: sha256 and sha512, usually truncated. |
|
|
51 | - change public exponent for rsa keys from 65535 to 65537, for |
|
|
52 | efficiency reasons - only affects new keys. |
|
|
53 | - nodes would sometimes declare transport endpoints valid despite |
|
|
54 | the protocol not being configured locally. |
|
|
55 | - new global configuration options: chroot, chuser, chuid, chgid, |
|
|
56 | to chroot to a specified or anonymous new root, and change user id. |
|
|
57 | - new global configuration options seed_device and seed_interval, |
|
|
58 | to configure another device than /dev/urandom for random seeds, |
|
|
59 | and to configure a regular imterval to reseed the rng. |
|
|
60 | - prefer inet_aton over gethostbyname, as the latter is not guaranteed |
|
|
61 | to "resolve" literal ip addresses. |
