+ .B KEYLIFETIME
+ Mixmaster sets an expiration date on its remailer keys
+ .B KEYLIFETIME
+ after the key creation date. Default:
+ .BR 13b .
+ .TP
+ .B KEYGRACEPERIOD
+ Mixmaster will continue to decrypt messages encrypted to an expired key
+ for
+ .B KEYGRACEPERIOD
+ period of time after the expiration. This is done to ensure that messages
+ already injected into the network are allowed to exit. Do not change this
+ value unless you know what you are doing, or you will risk partitioning
+ attacks. Default:
+ .BR 7d .
+ .TP
+ .B KEYOVERLAPPERIOD
+ Mixmaster will generate and advertise a new key
+ .BR KEYOVERLAPPERIOD
+ period of time before the expiration of the key. Clients should always use
+ the most recently created valid key. Clients that deviate from this
+ recommended behavior risk partitioning attacks. Default:
+ .BR 7d .
+ .TP
+ .B TIMESKEW_BACK
+ Allow going back up to
+ .BR TIMESKEW_BACK
+ in time.  If the time moved further back mixmaster will assume
+ there is a problem with your clock and refuse to start as a remailer.
+ This is done by comparing the latest timestamp in
+ .BR time.log
+ with the current timestamp.  If set to
+ .BR 0
+ then this test is skipped.  If the system time is indeed correct, simply
+ remove
+ .BR time.log .
+ Default:
+ .BR 12h .
+ .TP
+ .B TIMESKEW_FORWARD
+ Similar to
+ .BR TIMESKEW_BACK
+ but allow jumping this far into the future.
