Delfin 0.8 improves the stream cipher algorithm's security and performance.
- Improved Cipher stream algorithm execution speed by about 18%
- Fixed a short-circuit operation that compromised the complexity of the cipher algorithm
- Created header version 1 (HV1) to ensure backwards compatibility with old cipher
The 18% speedup applies to the generation of the stream cipher. On a typical machine, this translates to a second faster for every dozen or so MB of data to crypt.
