AESV2Plugin100RC3

Post by Cobra »

Hi Sean,

I haven't been around for quite a while. As I've seen you wrote some new AES-Plugins. What is exactly the difference between them ( AESV2Plugin100RC1/RC2/RC3) and the "old" AESV2Plugin002.zip which I'm using (and I'm very, very happy with it).

As always: Thanks for the good work you do!

Best regards

Cobra

Biggest recent changes are:

Better searching for the location of the key files.
Key files are OPTIONAL (uses password if no key file)
Dynamic key salting. Random salt is added to the key for each session.

Sean,

There is a bug in AESV2 running in password mode... if the password is greater than 8 characters long, it will never accept the password.

This is a known problem with VNC. It only uses 8 characters of the password but it passes the plugin the whole text you typed in. When entering your password, only enter the first 8 chars and it will work.

got it... btw, thanks for all of your hard work.. the new DSMs are most excellent. It's really nice being able to have "ad hoc" encryption without having to distribute a key... and also having the flexability to require a certain key.
