No, no, we rely on the correctness of our encryption to hide all information about the plaintext from an attacker who doesn't know the encryption key. 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 [email protected] https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
