Both plugins were + created by Reto Guadagnini. + +- Implemented the TCG TNC IF-IMV 1.4 draft making access requestor identities + available to an IMV. The OS IMV stores the AR identity together with the + device ID in the attest database. + +- The openssl plugin now uses the AES-NI accelerated version of AES-GCM + if the hardware supports it. + +- The eap-radius plugin can now assign virtual IPs to IKE clients using the + Framed-IP-Address attribute by using the "%radius" named pool in the + rightsourceip ipsec.conf option. Cisco Banner attributes are forwarded to + Unity-capable IKEv1 clients during mode config. charon now sends Interim + Accounting updates if requested by the RADIUS server, reports + sent/received packets in Accounting messages, and adds a Terminate-Cause + to Accounting-Stops. + +- The recently introduced "ipsec listcounters" command can report connection + specific counters by passing a connection name, and global or connection + counters can be reset by the "ipsec resetcounters" command. + +- The strongSwan libpttls library provides an experimental implementation of + PT-TLS (RFC 6876), a Posture Transport Protocol over TLS. + +- The charon systime-fix plugin can disable certificate lifetime checks on + embedded systems if the system time is obviously out of sync after bootup. + Certificates lifetimes get checked once the system time gets sane, closing + or reauthenticating connections using expired certificates. + +- The "ikedscp" ipsec.conf option can set DiffServ code points on outgoing + IKE packets. + +- The new xauth-noauth plugin allows to use basic RSA or PSK authentication with + clients that cannot be configured without XAuth authentication. The plugin + simply concludes the XAuth exchange successfully without actually performing + any authentication. Therefore, to use this backend it has to be selected + explicitly with rightauth2=xauth-noauth. + +- The new charon-tkm IKEv2 daemon delegates security critical operations to a + separate process. This has the benefit that the network facing daemon has no + knowledge of keying material used to protect child SAs. Thus subverting + charon-tkm does not result in the compromise of cryptographic keys. + The extracted functionality has been implemented from scratch in a minimal TCB + (trusted computing base) in the Ada programming language.
