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