The new get_byte() method returns a pseudo-random byte at a time.
Changed the get_bits() interface to the same interface as get_byte().
Updated the mgf1 unit-tests accordingly.
Additionally generate SHA-1 fingerprints of raw BLISS subjectPublicKey
and subjectPublicKeyInfo objects.
Some basic functions used by the bliss_public_key class are shared
with the bliss_private_key class.
By pre-multiplying the input arrays with a linear phase the
fast multiplication via FFT and inverse FFT computes a negative
wrapped convolution corresponding to a modulus of x^n+1.
poll() may return POLLHUP or POLLNVAL for given file descriptors. To handle
these properly, we signal them to the EXCEPT watcher state, if registered. If
not, we call the read/write callbacks, so they can properly fail when trying
to read from or write to the file descriptor.
Replace relevant uses of select() by poll(). poll(2) avoids the difficulties
we have with more than 1024 open file descriptors, and seems to be fairly
portable.
Fixes#757.
If multiple sockets are ready, we previously preferred the IPv4 non-NAT socket
over others. To handle all with equal priority, use a round-robin selection.
Instead of allocating MTU-sized buffers for each packet, read to a stack buffer
and copy to an allocation of the actual packet size. While it requires an
additional copy on non-Apple platforms, this should make allocation more
efficient for small packets.
Introduces options to enable concurrent Netlink queries. While this does not
make much sense on vanilla Linux, this can help on third party stacks to
increase throughput if longer latencies are to expect. Netlink message
retransmission can be optionally enabled if transmission is unreliable.
Non-socket based IKE bypass policies and other tweaks bring better compatibility
to third party stacks using Netlink.
As some backends over unreliable transport do not cache response messages,
retransmissions due the loss of responses perform the operation again. Add an
option to ignore some errors arising from such duplicate operations.
Note: This approach can't distinguish between real EXIST/NOTFOUND errors
and packet failures, and therefore is a source of race conditions and can't
detect any of these errors actually happening. Therefore that behavior is
disabled by default, and can be enabled with the ignore_retransmit_errors
strongswan.conf option.
To properly distinguish between real and retransmission errors, a Netlink
backend should implement retransmission detection using sequence numbers.
The socket based IKE bypass policies are usually superior, but not supported
on all networking stacks. The port based variant uses global policies for the
UDP ports we have IKE sockets for.
