VNConfig Encryption

2006-06-28 Thread Dan Smythe
Is the vnconfig encrypted filesystem command meant to
be a highly secure system like Scramdisk, or is it
only meant for low level security?

I believe it should be strong due to Blowfish, but I
haven't actually looked at the source. What I'm
asking, is if this option meets the rest of the
OpenBSD project's standards of security and robustness.

SVideo Output

2006-06-03 Thread Dan Smythe
I would like to get hook my TV up to my OpenBSD system
using the S/Video and headphone ports. The sound plays
fine but I can't get the video to work.

I failed to get atitvout to compile, and I haven't had
any luck with gatos tv_output either. Isn't there some
modification to x.org for the s/video output
configuration?

My dmesg follows:

PCMCIA USB 2.0

Since my laptop only has a USB 1 on it, I was thinking
about getting a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter. I looked on

USB

2006-03-19 Thread Dan Smythe
I have a USB DVD drive and a USB hard drive that are
running slowly. In my dmesg (attached) it says that I
am using USB 1.0. Is this a limitation of my hardware,
or doesn't OpenBSD 3.8 have USB 2.0 support yet?

Thanks

Re: Blowfish still good enough?

2006-01-01 Thread Dan Smythe
I certainly hope that if new ciphers are added to
svnd, that Blowfish is still included. Many of my
previous file systems use Blowfish, and it is my
preferred algorithm.
Just $16.99/mo. or less.

Re: Blowfish still good enough?

2005-12-31 Thread Dan Smythe
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. Blowfish has
been extensively analyzed since 1993. It is believed
to be secure.

As far as the 64 bit blocks go: most solid encryption
programs generally use a block chaining mode, to group
multiple blocks together. Encrypt one block, XOR it
with the next, etc. Even if collisions were found in
the ciphertext, the most the attacker could deduce is
that they represent the same plaintext block. If the
attacker didn't previously know what that ciphertext
block meant, it wouldn't really do them any good.

I think Blowfish is a great choice for the encryption
algorithm. Besides, factor this into the mix: Blowfish
uses a key up to 448 bits. Twofish goes up to 256
bits, as does AES. AES may or may not have been broken
based on the XSL attack. So the key size is an
atvantage over Twofish, and the years of review makes
for an advantage over AES.

Slow DVD Speed

2005-11-09 Thread Dan Smythe
I am having slow DVD burning speeds. I am running
OpenBSD 3.6 Release. I looked in the FAQ and I saw the
following:

---Begin FAQ quote---

Why am I not getting the writing speed I expected?
Instead of the above writing output, you may see
something like:

   4784128/1545832448 ( 0.3%) @0.7x, remaining 26:50
   7929856/1545832448 ( 0.5%) @0.7x, remaining 29:05
  14123008/1545832448 ( 0.9%) @0.7x, remaining 27:06
...

which is much slower. It means you are somehow not
getting enough throughput on whatever bus your DVD
writer is using. In the above example, the USB DVD
writer was attached to a machine on which the ehci(4)
driver, used by USB 2.0 controllers, failed to
initialize properly. As always, you are welcome to
provide patches and test results. The DVD writer fell
back to the slower USB 1.1 interface, which causes
reduced throughput. Indeed, USB 1.1 is limited to 12
Mbit/s, which amounts to 1.43 MB/s or 1.08x in DVD
speed terms. The DVD writer falls back to a lower pace
than the maximum, to reduce the risk of buffer
underruns.

---End FAQ quote---

I'm getting speeds of about 0.2x. I will attach my
dmesg file. What should I do to fix this problem?
