Susan Hinrichs commented on TS-3136:
------------------------------------
[~jeaglesham] and [~ivanr] thanks for your comments.
Looking back at the performance numbers that [~davet] did last year, the AES128
vs AES256 performance numbers are consistent with yours Ivan. I'm really
surprised that SHA256 vs SHA would have such a big performance impact. Since
SHA has been broken so long, I just had a knee jerk reaction against it. But I
think you make a good argument that SHA is good enough in that case.
You do bring up a good point about the dhparams. We do provide a means to set
your own, but I think the default is the 1024 bit one, which is no good these
days. [~bcall] what do you think about setting a 2048 bit DHParam by default?
I think [~i.galic] filed a bug on dh params a while back. I'll review the
current state of things.
Since this string is supposed to be reasonable for at least the coming year,
adding ChaCha seems quite reasonable.
I think doing the additional test that you suggest is a good idea. I'll see if
ops will give me two or three machines so I can compare my proposed string from
yesterday, an updated string based on your comments, and potentially the 5.x
default cipher string.
