      Don't try to erase secrets from memory. · 358166bc
      akwizgran authored
      1. The things we're really trying to protect - contact identities,
      message contents, etc - can't be erased from memory because they're
      encapsulated inside objects we don't control.
      
      2. Long-term secrets can't be protected by erasing them from memory
      because they're stored in the database and the database key has to be
      held in memory whenever the app's running.
      
      3. If the runtime uses a compacting garbage collector then we have no
      way to ensure an object is erased from memory.
      
      4. Trying to erase secrets from memory makes the code more complex.
      
      Conclusion: Let's not try to protect secrets from an attacker who can
      read arbitrary memory locations.

      Application layer keepalives to detect dead TCP connections. · d4fa656d
      akwizgran authored
      DuplexOutgoingSession flushes its output stream if it's idle for a
      transport-defined interval, causing an empty frame to be sent. The TCP
      and Tor plugins use a socket timeout equal to twice the idle interval to
      detect dead connections.
      
      See bugs #27, #46 and #60.
