Attached is a trivial patch which breaks existing GPRS cipher API of libosmocore by switching from fixed 64-bit length Kc to variable-length.
I like it.
There are several justifications for that:
Agreed.
- nobody uses this API anyway (except my other patches with GEA)
Well, there is libosmo-crypt-a53, which impements also GEA3 and which registers a cipher. That would need to change, too.
That's why I think next libosmocore version should apply this patch and change unused API before someone actually start using it and makes transition more difficult.
There may very well be existing code that you or I don't know about.
We will have to change LIBVERSION to announce ABI breakage, but that's not a problem...
Regards, Harald
