/*
 * 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
