Security statement
------------------

In August 2000, we discovered the existence of a security hole in all versions
of tinc up to and including 1.0pre2. This had to do with the way we exchanged
keys. Since then, we have been working on a new authentication scheme to make
tinc as secure as possible. The current version uses the OpenSSL library and
uses strong authentication with RSA keys.

On the 29th of December 2001, Jerome Etienne posted a security analysis of tinc
1.0pre4. Due to a lack of sequence numbers and a message authentication code
for each packet, an attacker could possibly disrupt certain network services or
launch a denial of service attack by replaying intercepted packets. The current
version adds sequence numbers and message authentication codes to prevent such
attacks.

Cryptography is a hard thing to get right. We cannot make any
guarantees. Time, review and feedback are the only things that can
prove the security of any cryptographic product. If you wish to review
tinc or give us feedback, you are stronly encouraged to do so.


Changes to configuration file format since 1.0pre5
--------------------------------------------------

Some configuration variables have different names now. Most notably "TapDevice"
should be changed into "Device", and "Device" should be changed into
"BindToDevice".


Requirements
------------

Since 1.0pre3, we use OpenSSL for all cryptographic functions.  So you
need to install this library first; grab it from
http://www.openssl.org/.  We recommend version 0.9.5 or better.  If
this library is not installed on you system, configure will fail.  The
manual in doc/tinc.texi contains more detailed information on how to
install this library.

Since 1.0pre6, the zlib library is used for optional compression. You need this
library whether or not you plan to enable the compression. You can find it at
http://www.gzip.org/zlib/. Because of a possible exploit in earlier versions we
recommand that you download version 1.1.4 or later.

In order to compile tinc, you will also need autoconf, automake, GNU make, m4
and gettext.


Features
--------

This version of tinc supports multiple virtual networks at once. To
use this feature, you may supply a netname via the -n or --net
options. The standard locations for the config files will then be
/etc/tinc/<net>/. Because of this feature, tinc will send packets
directly to their destinations, instead of to the uplink. If this
behaviour is undesirable (for instance because of firewalls or other
restrictions), please use an older version of tinc (I would recommend
tinc-0.2.19).

In order to force the kernel to accept received packets, the
destination MAC address will be set to FE:FD:00:00:00:00 upon
reception. The MAC address of the ethertap or tun/tap interface must
also be set to this address. See the manual for more detailed
information.

tincd regenerates its encryption key pairs. It does this on the first
activity after the keys have expired. This period is adjustable in the
configuration file, and the default time is 3600 seconds (one hour).

This version supports multiple subnets at once. They are also sorted
on subnet mask size. This means that it is possible to have
overlapping subnets on the VPN, as long as their subnet mask sizes
differ.

Since pre5, tinc can operate in several routing modes. The default mode,
"router", works exactly like the older version, and uses Subnet lines to
determine the destination of packets. The other two modes, "switch" and "hub",
allow the tinc daemons to work together like a single network switch or hub.
This is useful for bridging networks. The latter modes only work properly on
Linux and FreeBSD.

The algorithms used for encryption and generating message authentication codes
can now be changed in the configuration files. All cipher and digest algorithms
supported by OpenSSL can be used. Useful ciphers are "blowfish" (default),
"bf-ofb", "des", "des3", etcetera. Useful digests are "sha1" (default), "md5",
etcetera.

Support for routing IPv6 packets has been added. Just add Subnet lines with
IPv6 addresses (without using :: abbreviations) and use ifconfig or ip (from
the iproute package) to give the virtual network interface corresponding IPv6
addresses. Autoconfiguration will not work in router mode. Tunneling IPv6
packets only works on Linux, FreeBSD and possibly OpenBSD.

It is also possible to make tunnels to other tinc daemons over IPv6 networks.
In order to enable this feature the option "AddressFamily = any" or
"AddressFamily = ipv6" must be added to the tinc.conf file. The host
configuration files should contain IPv6 addresses for the "Address" variables,
or hostnames which have an AAAA or A6 record.
