What's your solution to hardening IIS against the BEAST? Prioritizing non-CBC ciphers (i.e. putting TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA and TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 at the top of the list) does 'mitigate' the ...

I've used the Nartac Software IIS Crypto tool* to set the Windows SSL cipher suite order, secure protocols, ciphers, hashes, and key exchanges on newly set up Windows servers running modern ...

Given recent attacks against older, commonly-used encryption modes RC4 and CBC, the Google team began implementing new algorithms – ChaCha 20 for symmetric encryption and Poly1305 for authentication – ...

Microsoft released optional security updates Tuesday for various versions of the .NET Framework that prevent the RC4 encryption algorithm from being used in TLS (Transport Layer Security) connections.

Researchers have found a new way to recover and decrypt authentication cookies from 3DES and Blowfish protected traffic. In response, OpenSSL is expected to deprecate 3DES’ designation from high to ...

Microsoft released optional security updates Tuesday for various versions of the .NET Framework that prevent the RC4 encryption algorithm from being used in TLS (Transport Layer Security) connections.

Legacy ciphers such as triple-DES and Blowfish are vulnerable to Sweet32 attacks, which let attackers decrypt HTTPS sessions even without the encryption key There is now a practical, relatively fast ...
