Re: [mailop] deprecating rc4 & ssl3

2016-05-16 Thread Brandon Long via mailop
We removed support for EDH ciphers a while back, so I don't think we worry
about DH key lengths.  I don't think they are supported by BoringSSL, which
all Google products should be using now.

At least, that's my basic understanding, most of this is handled by our tls
team, so I don't have to think about it.

And we never fall back to plain text, haven't in years.

Thank you! It makes it much easier for us to do the same - when folks
complain we can say - well, you cannot deliver mail to google either -
fix your system.

On a related topic, are you doing any fallback to plain text on DH key
length? What is the minimum DH key length you require for mail? Our
systems currently require 1024 bit keys, but will fallback to plain text
after 8 hours. The delay encourages folks to upgrade their DH keys, but
I have not seen such a fallback in the last few weeks.

[mailop] deprecating rc4 & ssl3

2016-05-16 Thread Brandon Long via mailop
As an FYI, this seems unlikely to affect most of you as the number of
services we see using these is pretty small:

http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2016/05/disabling-support-for-sslv3-and-rc4-for.html

So, in 30 days, we're going to start shutting these off, both for inbound
and outbound.

The numbers are small enough that we're not doing any mitigation, there is
no fall back on ssl negotiation failure, there is no whitelist of hosts we
will allow these protocols from.

Work around for folks who can't get their server to support these protocols
is to disable advertising STARTTLS to us (or calling it on inbound).

Main product we've seen that are likely to have issues are some older
versions of Lotus Notes.  Other people on this list probably have a better
idea of what products will have issues.

It's harder for those with broken mail clients using smtp-msa, there is no
fall back to unencrypted for those clients, they will be unable to send
mail via msa when these protocols are disabled.  IMAP & POP will be
disabled on the same time schedule, so most likely they won't be able to
read email either.
