Use better mix encryption #1

mchlnix commented 6 years ago

Right now we use AES ECB, which was very easy to use. Too easy and insecure to be used IRL, though and therefore does not model potential problems with more involved operation modes.

We should have a look at DTLS and beyond on how to implement better crypto.

Cipher Block Chaining with explicit IV as in DTLS and a variant that keeps the packet at a constant size for n iterations was implemented. Next the feasibility of CTR mode and maybe GCM is examined.
