Support for Bittorrent v2 (bep 0052)
I haven't seen any info on whether there's any effort in transmission to support the bittorrent v2 format [1]. Are there any plans or efforts to support it yet? The major reason is the breakage of SHA1, which causes vulnerabilities like the BitErrant attack [2]. The v2 format switches to SHA256 and a Merkle tree structure. As long as this is unfixed torrents can't be considered as a secure download method that guarantee data integrity. [1] http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0052.html [2] https://biterrant.io/
