James E. King III updated THRIFT-3165:
--------------------------------------
Component/s: (was: Wish List)
C++ - Library
> Remove TSSLSocket::SSLProtocol and require subclass of SSLContext to control
> TLS negotiation
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-3165
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3165
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.9.2
> Reporter: James E. King III
> Priority: Major
> Labels: SSL, SSLSocketFactory, Security, TLS
>
> Thrift provides an SSL implementation and as such we need to ensure that
> thrift as a distribution is not the source of a security risk. Currently
> there is no uniformity across the library implementations to require a
> certain level of security for SSL communications.
> It is therefore proposed that the Thrift project require all SSL
> implementations shipping with the distribution to require TLS 1.2 or later as
> the accepted ciphers for a server socket. TLS 1.2 was defined in RFC 5246 in
> August of 2008.
> By shipping thrift with anything less, the finger can potentially be pointed
> back at thrift as a project for not providing the proper security. By
> setting the bar as high as possible on components in the package, the third
> party using Thrift must make a conscious decision to add other ciphers that
> are not as strong as TLS 1.2. Since the third party is making this decision,
> they are fully accepting the consequences of their action.
> Given this affects all SSL implementations, it could be done in one commit or
> in multiple commits; if the work is to be split up then it should be done
> with subtasks in Jira.
