This change implements equal-preference groups of cipher suites. This
allows, for example, a server to prefer one of AES-GCM or ChaCha20
ciphers, but to allow the client to pick which one. When coupled with
clients that will boost AES-GCM in their preferences when AES-NI is
present, this allows us to use AES-GCM when the hardware exists and
ChaCha20 otherwise.
This patch removes support for empty records (which is almost
universally disabled via SSL_OP_ALL) and adds optional support for 1/n-1
record splitting.
The latter is not enabled by default, since it's not typically used on
servers, but it should be enabled in web browsers since there are known
attacks in that case (see BEAST).
This patch adds support for a different cipher list when the connection
is using TLS 1.1. This is intended to support the case where we want to
use AES with >= TLS 1.1 clients but RC4 otherwise because of the BEAST
attack.
This change adds functions to check membership of various cipher
families. Clients and servers need this in order to optimise the size of
records because different families have different amounts of prefix and
postfix overhead.
Limit the number of empty records that will be processed consecutively
in order to prevent ssl3_get_record from never returning.
Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed" and George Kadianakis.
(Called "cut through" for historical reasons in this patch.)
Enables SSL3+ clients to send application data immediately following the
Finished message even when negotiating full-handshakes. With this
patch, clients can negotiate SSL connections in 1-RTT even when
performing full-handshakes.
Initial fork from f2d678e6e89b6508147086610e985d4e8416e867 (1.0.2 beta).
(This change contains substantial changes from the original and
effectively starts a new history.)
