On MacOS, building and testing without openssl is much easier.
The tests should skip tests that fail because of missing openssl
instead of aborting.
Fixes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/123
Spawn a worker goroutine that reads the next 512-byte block
while the current one is being drained.
This should help reduce waiting times when /dev/urandom is very
slow (like on Linux 3.16 kernels).
On my machine, reading 512-byte blocks from /dev/urandom
(same via getentropy syscall) is a lot faster in terms of
throughput:
Blocksize Throughput
16 28.18 MB/s
512 83.75 MB/s
For a single-threaded streaming write, this drops the CPU usage of
nonceGenerator.Get to almost 1/3:
flat flat% sum% cum cum%
Before 0 0% 95.08% 0.35s 2.92% github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/internal/cryptocore.(*nonceGenerator).Get
After 0.01s 0.092% 92.34% 0.13s 1.20% github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/internal/cryptocore.(*nonceGenerator).Get
This change makes the nonce reading single-threaded, which may
hurt massively-parallel writes.
This check would need locking to be multithreading-safe.
But as it is in the fastpath, just remove it.
rand.Read() already guarantees that the value is random.
Force decode of encrypted files even if the integrity check fails, instead of
failing with an IO error. Warning messages are still printed to syslog if corrupted
files are encountered.
It can be useful to recover files from disks with bad sectors or other corrupted
media.
Closes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/102 .
...but keep it disabled by default for new filesystems.
We are still missing an example filesystem and CLI arguments
to explicitely enable and disable it.
There is no security reason for doing this, but it will allow
to consolidate the code once we drop compatibility with gocryptfs v1.2
(and earlier) filesystems.
There are two independent backends, one for name encryption,
the other one, AEAD, for file content.
"BackendTypeEnum" only applies to AEAD (file content), so make that
clear in the name.
Version 1.1 of the EME package (github.com/rfjakob/eme) added
a more convenient interface. Use it.
Note that you have to upgrade your EME package (go get -u)!
AES-SIV uses 1/2 of the key for authentication, 1/2 for
encryption, so we need a 64-byte key for AES-256. Derive
it from the master key by hashing it with SHA-512.
tlog is used heavily everywhere and deserves a shorter name.
Renamed using sed magic, without any manual rework:
find * -type f -exec sed -i 's/toggledlog/tlog/g' {} +
Quoting from the patch:
We compare against Go's built-in GCM implementation. Since stupidgcm only
supports 128-bit IVs and Go only supports that from 1.5 onward, we cannot
run these tests on older Go versions.
