16 | - openssl 1.0.2 is the latest supported openssl release, |
|
|
17 | openssl 1.1.0 is not supported at the moment as the work to |

18 | make it compatible to both versions is just too much. a switch |

19 | to openssl 1.1 or another library will be done in a future release. |
|

|
38 | - switch to counter mode (only aes supported at the moment in |
|
|
39 | openssl). this gets rid of the need to generate a random iv, |
|
|
40 | is likely more secure (and, as a side effect, gets rid of |
|
|
41 | slow randomness generation. counter mode is often faster |

|
|
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 |
