// 20040419 _M Adding Verify() method. Beginning with version 2-3 of Message Sniffer
// we are embedding a Mangler digest of the rulebase file. The Verify() method reconstructs
// the digest and compares it. This ensures that no part of the rulebase file can be
// corrupted without the snf2check utility detecting the problem. Prior to this version
// it was possible to have undetected corruption in the middle of the rulebase file. The
// Mangler digest will prevent that.

// 20030130 _M Added testing section in TokenMatrix to throw an exeption if the file
// is too small to be a valid matrix. The value is calculated based on the idea that a
// valid matrix will have been encrypted in two segments so the file must be at least
// as large as these two segments. This is intended to solve the zero-length-rulebase
// bug where an access violation would occur if the file was of zero length.

// 20021030 _M Creation of snf_engine module by dragging the sniffer pattern matching engine out
// of the sniffer.cpp file.

  // and so that we have precisely 32 bytes which is the same size as 4 tokens.
  //
  // Note: The 32 byte value is in SecurityKeyBufferSize. This means that we can
  // accept security keys up to 31 bytes in length. We need the ending null to
  // assure our null terminated string is as expected. The security key block must
  // match up with the edges of tokens in the matrix so we pad the end with nulls

  // If they match then we know everything worked out and that our token matrix has
  // been decrypted properly. This is also a good indication that our token matrix
  // is not incomplete since if it were the decryption wouldn't work. Saddly, we
  // don't have the computing cycles to decrypt the entire file - so we won't be

  // nodes in the matrix. Whenever a run-loop gateway is present at a node a buddy is
  // inserted AFTER the current evaluator so that it will evaluate the current character
  // from the position of the run-loop gateway. This allows run loops to occupy the same
  // positional space as standard matches while maintaining isolation between their paths
  // in the matrix.

  // We don't want to launch any run loop buddies unless we matched this far. If we did
  // match up to this point and the next character in a pattern includes a run loop then
  // we will find a gateway byte at this point representing the path to any run loops.

  // If we made it this far launch a buddy for any run-loop gateway that's present.
  // Of course, the buddy must be evaluated after this evaluator during this pass because
  // he will have shown up late... That is, we don't detect a run gateway until we're
  // sitting on a new node looking for a result... The very result we may be looking for
  // could be behind the gateway - so we launch the buddy behind us and he will be able
  // to match anything in this pass that we missed when looking for a non-run match.
