Subject: directories: make the IV for the writecaps in directory entries be computed from... 
X-Git-Tag: trac-4000~24
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/pf/content/%22news.html/frontends/status?a=commitdiff_plain;h=786ed012b3510135c60769e6d5e91d6f3fef2725;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

directories: make the IV for the writecaps in directory entries be computed from the secure hash of the writecap itself
This makes encoding of directory entries deterministic, and it is also a tad faster on Macbook Pro than getting a random IV with os.urandom(16).
