Specify the encryption mode when AES is used. The default (for now) is
ECB mode in order to remain backwards compatible with pre-2.0 versions of
fwknop which relied on the Crypt::CBC perl module. This will be changed
in an upcoming version of fwknop to use the more secure CBC mode. In the
meantime, it is recommend to use this option to specify CBC mode (use the
string "CBC" as the argument), and then also use the ENCRYPTION_MODE
variable in the 'access.conf' file on the server.
Specify the encryption mode when AES is used for encrypting SPA packets.
The default is CBC mode, but others can be chosen such as CFB or OFB
as long as this is also specified in the 'access.conf' file on the
server side via the ENCRYPTION_MODE variable. In general, it is
recommended to not use this argument and just use the default.
