RLabs/xs: Update v0.9.2-pre updates

- packets now use EtA per Krawczyk2001 (cautionary as it refers to block not stream modes, but better safe than sorry) https://bit.ly/36sALzi
- authToken logic fixes to drop privs for writing authtoken files to assure proper ownership
- authToken logic fixes to allow connecting to remote as other users

xs - Alternative to ssh, written from scratch in Go. Post-Quantum KEM with traffic chaffing and SLACK!

The Privacy FoundationNov 9, 2020

Overly technical software installation is a huge blocker for most people. This stops people from using privacy-protecting Operating Systems like #Linux.

If we are to get people into #foss products that are better for #privacy, please add "simple installation" to your issues list if you #dev or #market software.

The inconvenient truth is that there is no such thing as a backdoor that only lets the good guys in. The EU's resolution on encryption, released yesterday, could result in a net decrease of everyone's privacy and security: https://protonmail.com/blog/eu-attack-on-encryption/
EU resolution paves the way for future anti-encryption laws

The Council of the EU released a non-binding resolution that calls for tech companies to find technical solutions to let authorities access encrypted data.

    All right, here we go again: RLabs/xs: Updated v0.8.26 release adds FrodoKEM - Alternative to ssh, written from scratch in Go. Post-Quantum KEM with traffic chaffing and SLACK! https://gogs.blitter.com/RLabs/xs #ssh #crypto #encryption #golang (This time, getting the ‘KEM’ part less-wrong)
    RLabs/xs

    A simple alternative to ssh (<5% total SLOCC) written from scratch in Go. A testbed for candidate PQC (post-quantum cryptography) KEMs (Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms) and symmetric session encryption algorithms. xs also features integrated traffic chaffing to obscure interactive session and file copy activity, and is intended as a playground for other attack-resistance techniques. Runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows (client only, MSYS) and Android (within <a href="https://termux.com/">Termux</a>).

    Oops, v0.8.26 has been temporarily yanked. Those responsible have been sacked. Currently discussing possible API issues with the FrodoKEM library’s author. Stay tuned. v0.8.25 is still just fine until then. Fnord.
