      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.

      Shut down the Tor process without hacks. · d406853f
      akwizgran authored
      Tor has a controller command, TAKEOWNERSHIP, and a configuration option,
      __OwningControllerProcess, that work together to ensure Tor shuts down
      when the controlling process dies and/or disconnects from the control
      port. By using them we can avoid creating runaway Tor processes that
      have to be killed with hacks.
