OVERVIEW

6       The CPG library is delivered with the openais project.  This library is
7       used to create distributed applications that  operate  properly  during
8       partitions, merges, and faults.
9
10       The  library provides a mechanism to: * handle abstraction for multiple
11       instances of an CPG library in one  application  *  join  one  or  more
12       groups * leave one or more groups * Deliver messages to members of that
13       group * Deliver configuration changes

SECURITY

16       The CPG library encrypts all messages sent over the network  using  the
17       SOBER-128 stream cipher.  The EVS library uses HMAC and SHA1 to authen‐
18       ticate all messages.  The CPG library uses SOBER-128 as a pseudo random
19       number  generator.  TheCPG library feeds the PRNG using the /dev/random
20       Linux device.
