  36  * CRC attack detection has a worst-case behaviour that is O(N^3) over
  37  * the number of identical blocks in a packet. This behaviour can be
  38  * exploited to create a limited denial of service attack.
  39  *
  40  * However, because we are dealing with encrypted data, identical
  41  * blocks should only occur every 2^35 maximally-sized packets or so.
  42  * Consequently, we can detect this DoS by looking for identical blocks
  43  * in a packet.
  44  *
  45  * The parameter below determines how many identical blocks we will
  46  * accept in a single packet, trading off between attack detection and
  47  * likelihood of terminating a legitimate connection. A value of 32
  48  * corresponds to an average of 2^40 messages before an attack is
  49  * misdetected
