> In network/common, SASL with DIGEST­-MD5 authentication is used for 
> negotiating a secure communication channel. When SASL operation mode is 
> "auth­-conf", the data transferred on the network is encrypted. DIGEST-MD5 
> mechanism supports following encryption: 3DES, DES, and RC4. The negotiation 
> procedure will select one of them to encrypt / decrypt the data on the 
> channel.
> However, 3des and rc4 are slow relatively. We could add code in the 
> negotiation to make it support AES for more secure and performance.
> The proposed solution is:
> When "auth-conf" is enabled, at the end of original negotiation, the 
> authentication succeeds and a secure channel is built. We could add one more 
> negotiation step: Client and server negotiate whether they both support AES. 
> If yes, the Key and IV used by AES will be generated by server and sent to 
> client through the already secure channel. Then update the encryption / 
> decryption handler to AES at both client and server side. Following data 
> transfer will use AES instead of original encryption algorithm.
