Why is Google using RC4 for their HTTPS/SSL? $ openssl s_client
-connect www.google.com:443 | grep "Cipher is" New, TLSv1/SSLv3,
Cipher is RC4-SHA Isn't RC4 ... I am trying to understand how
CBC-mode in SSL/TLS can be attacked. I have been looking around
online but all examples and explanations are very hard to
understand and follow. Can you give a simple ... In SSL
protocols, both symmetric and asymmetric algorithms are used.
Why is it so? The symmetric algorithms are more secure and
easier to implement. Why are asymmetric algorithms usually
preferred in ... The cipher AES-256 is used among other places
in TSL/SSL across the Internet. It's considered among the top
ciphers. In theory it's not crackable since the combinations of
keys are massive. Although ... A "practical attack against XML's
cipher block chaining (CBC) mode" has been demonstrated: XML
Encryption Flaw Leaves Web Services Vulnerable. Does this
weakness of CBC-mode which is used here also ... According to
many sources, the first few (n) bytes of
