-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
-does authentication in much the same way as the SSH protocol does.
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-
-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.
