Hello, I'm a fairly old programmer, while a newcomer to openssl. Here is my basic question, triggered by the lack of background documentation I could quickly find on the subject.
I have a proprietary protocol and application. I have already successfully done the first steps to add openssl between the client and the server. I currently have elected to use TLSv1 and DES-CBC3-SHA as cypher, mostly because that was the default one that got used before I restricted it to that. I have full control on the client and server code and it does not have to be compatible with anything else. So I can impose the protocol, the cypher, and just about everything else. A) Knowing I would like to use a good cypher with 128 bits or more, which one should I select to get the best speed ? I read blowfish could be speedy. But I do not see how I could use blowfish will my TLSv1 connection. B) Is TLSv1 a good choice, knowing I could choose any and impose it in this particular case ? C) Is there some good background documentation on "choosing the right cypher for the task" ?
