* lib: Add per-message encryption with OpenSSLDimitri Staessens2019-08-031-0/+490
This adds a per-message symmetric encryption using the OpenSSL library. At flow allocation, an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman exchange is performed to derive a shared secret, which is then hashed using SHA3-256 to be used as a key for symmetric AES-256 encryption. Each message on an encrypted flow adds a small crypto header that includes a random 128-bit Initialization Vector (IV). If the server does not have OpenSSL enabled, the flow allocation will fail with an -ECRYPT error. Future optimizations are to piggyback the public keys on the flow allocation message, and to enable per-flow encryption that maintains the context of the encryption over multiple packets and doesn't require sending IVs.
