Hi, In OpenSSL 1.0.2, and 1.0.1i, 3DES-CBC’s bit-strength was changed from 168 to 112, which makes sense. However, it is still considered a HIGH-strength cipher.
RC4 is listed as having a bit strength of MEDIUM, and is a 128-bit strength cipher (kinda). This is a bit contradictory. According to the OpenSSL cipher documentation, HIGH refers to 128-bit, or stronger, ciphers. Should 3DES ciphers be moved to the MEDIUM category? -- -Todd Short // tsh...@akamai.com<mailto:tsh...@akamai.com> // "One if by land, two if by sea, three if by the Internet."
