Accept and transmit padding in introduce2 plaintexts (!1602) · Merge requests · The Tor Project / Core / Arti

Nick Mathewson requested to merge nickm/arti:pad_intro2 into main Sep 18, 2023

According to rend-spec, we intentionally accept and discard extra bytes here. Doing so allows us to hide the size of our messages.

Closes #1031 (closed); see discussion there.

I think this code is ready, but I'm marking the MR as Draft until all the discussions on #1031 (closed) and on torspec#222 (closed) are resolved
