Re: [PATCH] OpenVPN: mark CBC ciphers as weak in WebUI

Hello Michael,

thanks for your comments.

Hi,

I think I can ACK this although we definitely should change the default. I have raised that a couple of times before.

Yes. This is true for IPsec as well... Patch is in my pipeline...

I also do not like having a very long list of ciphers that are weak. There are not too many left which are “strong”. But yeah, what can you do?

As far as I am concerned, there is little "strong" cryptography left indeed. It's basically only TLS >= 1.2 with AEAD (e.g. GCM) ciphers and Forward Secrecy.

Speaking about RFC 8446, this is more or less what survived discussions before standardizing TLS 1.3 ... :-)

I will wait for Erik to ack this, too.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
