These ciphersuites let us negotiate forward- - secure TLS secret keys more safely and more efficiently than with - our previous use of Diffie Hellman modulo a 1024-bit prime. - By default, public servers prefer the (faster) P224 group, and - bridges prefer the (more common) P256 group; you can override this - with the TLSECGroup option. - - Enabling these ciphers was a little tricky, since for a long - time, clients had been claiming to support them without - actually doing so, in order to foil fingerprinting. But with - the client-side implementation of proposal 198 in - 0.2.3.17-beta, clients can now match the ciphers from recent - firefox versions *and* list the ciphers they actually mean, so - servers can believe such clients when they advertise ECDHE - support in their TLS ClientHello messages. - - This feature requires clients running 0.2.3.17-beta or later, - and requires both sides to be running OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later - with ECC support. OpenSSL 1.0.1, with the compile-time option - "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128", is highly recommended. - Implements the server side of proposal 198; closes ticket - 7200. - |
