Enable sender-chosen noise length. #5

Closed kfogel closed 8 years ago

kfogel commented 11 years ago

Enable a sender-determined noise length, to better protect against length analysis while continuing to protect against the known-plaintext attack described in issue #2.

The basic plan, which involves inner headers, is described in the comment added in commit 04974c7fed.

Inner headers are working now. I'm not sure that sender-chosen noise length is important enough to be worth the maintenance overhead, but will wait for comments/review before closing this.

Closing. If someone makes a good case why this is needed, we can re-open.
