Ceph In Linux 7.0 Lands Support For AES256K Keys

([Linux Storage] 6 Hours Ago CEPH_CRYPTO_AES256KRB5)


For those making use of the Ceph open-source, distributed storage platform, with the upcoming Linux 7.0 kernel they are introducing support for the AES256K key type.

The Ceph authentication code in Linux 7.0 has merged support for the AES256K key type. The CEPH_CRYPTO_AES256KRB5 key type is based on Kerberos 5 / AES256-CTS-HMAC384-192. This support is complementary and doesn't affect the existing Ceph AES crypto support.

Aside from that Ceph AES256K key type support, the other Ceph changes amount to bug fixes for the Linux 7.0 merge window. See [1]this pull request for those making use of Ceph and curious about these latest changes.

The wise programmer is told about the Tao and follows it. The average
programmer is told about the Tao and searches for it. The foolish programmer
is told about the Tao and laughs at it. If it were not for laughter, there
would be no Tao.
The highest sounds are the hardest to hear. Going forward is a way to
retreat. Greater talent shows itself late in life. Even a perfect program
still has bugs.
