I can see they've only enabled Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral and RSA key exchange cipher suites. That means users will either use ECDHE and get forward secrecy, or old clients will just use "RSA" (which means the client sends a "pre-key" back to the server encrypted with the server's public key) which works but doesn't give you forward secrecy. What they HAVEN'T enabled is Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral suites, which give older clients forward secrecy at a big CPU hit. So this is an example of performance-tuning your TLS settings. There's also stuff to do with session tickets, session resumption, and eventually they'd also be served using ECDSA certs, once all clients support it, or there is at least a great way to only show the older RSA cert to old clients. |
