[feature] Change CTR to GCM on secrets.py

2016-12-07T05:03:58+00:00

Current implementation can allow tampering and the CTR->GCM exchange can
help to avoid it.
This commits also alters a behaviour where we moved ahead after failing
to decrypt a recovery document. IMHO we can't move ahead as this is a
fatal error.

[feature] Add retro compat on secrets.py ciphers

2016-12-07T04:27:50+00:00

Integrated the secrets's JSON key that specifies ciphers into _crypto
and added optional GCM. Also added a test to check if both cipher types
can be imported.

Resolves: #8680

[feature] use GCM instead of CTR+HMAC

2016-12-07T02:30:42+00:00

Resolves: #8668 - client: substitute usage of CTR mode + HMAC by GCM
cipher mode

[refactor] improve blob signature magic usage

2016-11-30T04:55:33+00:00

Our magic value wasn't being used and were represented as a string.
Refactored it to a constant, increased it's size to 2 bytes and optimzed
is_symmetrically_encrypted to look for the magic and symmetrically
encrypted flag under base64 encoding. Most file types will use this
feature to help identifying themselves, so it got refactored to serve
the purpose it was created.

[bug] enable batching again

2016-11-29T05:21:02+00:00

Something happened during rebase. This configuration is supposed to be
True by default now.

[style] fixes from code-review

2016-11-29T05:20:03+00:00

Naming, interfaces and other details.

[feature] speed up sync benchmark setup code

2016-11-29T05:04:57+00:00

We aren't testing huge payloads on CI, so it doesn't make sense to
insert docs one by one. 'gatherResults' can speed up bench setup.

[refactor] introduces a GenericWriter

2016-11-28T16:47:30+00:00

AESWriter and HMACWriter are just applying hmac or aes into a flow of
data. Abstracted the application of those operations into a super class
and highlighted just the difference on each implementation.

[refactor] adds PipeableWriter to pipe two streams

2016-11-28T16:47:30+00:00

VerifiedEncryptor and VerifiedDecryptor are just a pipe and a fan-out.
This class provides both behaviors to two distinct writeable things.
