-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.
