jpw3 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Does BTSync support perfect forward secrecy? The following post suggests yes, but it is kind of old and points to a security page that no longer exists:http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/53981/bittorrent-sync-encryption This page suggests that PFS doesn't apply since Sync doesn't use TLS:http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29358-heartbleed-perfect-forward-secrecy/ Is there any further information on this? Thank you, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpw3 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Thank you for the feedback. I went to the page you pointed to, but didn't see anything specifically about perfecto forward secrecy. Is there a specific link to a page which discusses this? Best regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 @jpw3Sorry - the article on security is not yet published. Still, Sync is using SRP to negotiate session key between two peers, while SRP provides perfect forward secrecy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
