Hello, I just want to ask if it has been considered to use OpenSSL for the encryption stuff. I guess they've spent quite some time on the subject and have the cipher routines both debugged and optimized. I know that some of the current cipher code was taken from SSLeay but since OpenSSL is de facto SSLeay successor, it might give tinc more flexibility and allow the user to choose between weaker/faster or stronger/slower ecryption schemes.

I must say I considered it before, but thought of it as too cumbersome to include; but I guess because we're now introducing a lot of incompatibilities, it may be well worth a try. -- Ivo Timmermans Deja moo: the feeling you've heard this bullshit before. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I think cabal should be left alone from now on, except when there are real bugs in it. What kind of encryption is SSL anyway?
