Microsoft described the security/negotation improvements in progress for the SMB3.1 protocol earlier this month. See
http://www.snia.org/sites/default/files2/SDC2014/presentations/SMB/Kruse-Kramer_Introduction_to_SMB_3-1.pdf and in http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/6/C/C6C3C6F1-E84A-44EF-82A9-49BD3AAD8F58/Windows/%5BMS-SMB2-Diff%5D.pdf I was glad we were able to make progress testing Samba and also Linux support for this. The patches for kernel client support aren't complete yet (but at least with the experimental patch at http://git.samba.org/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/smb3.1 the kernel client can mount with signing disabled). When the Windows implementations become available I am looking forward to seeing how this improves speed of signing (and encryption). -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
