Hi all, the default cipher settings in OpenSSL prefer 3DES over AES-128. In general, Triple DES with three independent keys has a key length of 168 bits, but due to the meet-in-the-middle attack, the effective security it provides is only 112 bits. Triple DES is much slower than 128 bit AES. Why is the 3DES cipher preferred over AES-128 ?
