Or, you might say "encryption=joey@kitenet.net" to search for matching keys. +The default MAC algorithm to be applied on the filenames is HMACSHA1. A +stronger one, for instance HMACSHA512, one can be chosen upon creation +of the special remote with the option `mac=HMACSHA512`. The available +MAC algorithms are HMACSHA1, HMACSHA224, HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384, and +HMACSHA512. Note that it is not possible to change algorithm for a +non-empty remote. + The [[encryption_design|design/encryption]] allows additional encryption keys to be added on to a special remote later. Once a key is added, it is able to access content that has already been stored in the special remote. |
