Therefore, the pad bytes are all just zero bytes, and we believe that this pattern gives nothing useful to the cryptanalyst. (Our encryption is currently AES. I hope in the future to upgrade it to AES⊕XSalsa20 — see #1164 and wiki:OneHundredYearCryptography.) https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1164# use XSalsa20+AES-128 encryption https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/OneHundredYearCryptography Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-...@tahoe-lafs.org https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://ativel.com http://postbiota.org AC894EC5: 38A5 5F46 A4FF 59B8 336B 47EE F46E 3489 AC89 4EC5 _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
