Subject: remove plaintext-hashing code from the helper interface, to close #722
X-Git-Tag: trac-3900~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/vdrive/%22news.html/cyclelanguage?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4177a3616b6f887c7e18d66b5ed8c392f7b8c28c;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

remove plaintext-hashing code from the helper interface, to close #722
and deny the Helper the ability to mount a partial-information-guessing
attack. This will probably break compatibility between new clients and very
old (pre-1.0) helpers.
