- o Minor features (security):
- - Check for replays of the public-key encrypted portion of an
- INTRODUCE1 cell, in addition to the current check for replays of
- the g^x value. This prevents a possible class of active attacks
- by an attacker who controls both an introduction point and a
- rendezvous point, and who uses the malleability of AES-CTR to
- alter the encrypted g^x portion of the INTRODUCE1 cell. We
- think that these attacks is infeasible (requiring the attacker
- to send on the order of zettabytes of altered cells in a short
- interval), but we'd rather block them off in case there are any
- classes of this attack that we missed. Reported by dvorak.
