82 *
83 * Packets consist of an 80-bit MAC, a 32-bit sequence number, and the
84 * encrypted payload.
85 *
86 * The plaintext is encrypted using Blowfish in CBC mode with ciphertext
0ba8de86 87 * stealing (as described in [Schneier]). The initialization vector is
165db1a8 88 * selected randomly, and prepended to the actual ciphertext.
89 *
90 * The MAC is computed using the HMAC construction with RIPEMD160 over the
91 * sequence number and the ciphertext (with IV); the first 80 bits of the
92 * output are used. (This is the minimum allowed by the draft FIPS for HMAC,
93 * and the recommended truncation.)
94 *
95 * A keyset consists of
96 *
97 * * an integrity (MAC) key;
98 * * a confidentiality (encryption) key; and
99 * * a sequence numbering space
100 *
101 * in each direction. The packets sent by a host encrypted under a
102 * particular keyset are assigned consecutive sequence numbers starting from
103 * zero. The receiving host must ensure that it only accepts each packet at
104 * most once. It should maintain a window of sequence numbers: packets with
105 * numbers beyond the end of the window are accepted and cause the window to
106 * be advanced; packets with numbers before the start of the window are
107 * rejected; packets with numbers which appear within the window are accepted
108 * only if the number has not been seen before.
109 *
110 * When a host sends a @KX_SWITCH@ or @KX_SWITCHOK@ message, it installs the
111 * newly-negotiated keyset in a `listen-only' state: it may not send a packet
112 * encrypted under the keyset until either it has received a @KX_SWITCH@ or
113 * @KX_SWITCHOK@ message, or a @MSG_PACKET@ encrypted under the keyset, from
114 * its peer.
