A new year, another attack on TLS. Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan Leurent of INRIA recently announced the new attack. TLS 1.2 allows negotiation of the hashing algorithm used for signatures, typically to “upgrade” the hash to a higher security level. Before TLS 1.2 a combination of MD5 and SHA1 were used for signatures. TLS 1.2 […]

Read MoreMore TagWhen to use Pre Shared Key (PSK) Cipher Suites
PSK cipher suites are a superb choice in low resource environments where both ends of the connection can be controlled. With PSK, each side of the connection has an already agreed upon key to use rather than agreeing on one during the TLS handshake. This reduces resource consumption for each session using PSK. For example, […]
