OPENSSL_ENCRYPTION

OPENSSL_ENCRYPTION NO|YES

FairCom now supports an updated AES algorithm based on the OpenSSL standard by default. Previous algorithm implementation can be restored by specifying in ctsrvr.cfg the keyword OPENSSL_ENCRYPTION NO.

This change is expected to provide security and, with internal testing, we have seen an up to 20% performance improvements.

This modification changes file passwords encrypted on the client-side for secure transmission to use OpenSSL.
