+1 for going without a new layer of indirections. Making libgcrypt mandatory is easy and every level of indirection make understanding the code harder which is a source of bugs.
+1 Enough places in Wireshark use it, and there will probably be, over time, 1) more encryption in protocols and 2) more calls for Wireshark to do decryption whenever possible, so I consider it worthy of deeming an essential support library for packet analysis. If you want a small tool to run on devices, put a *capture* tool there and do the *analysis* on something big enough to do the job. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
