Code change:
Not sure if the deprecation cutoff will be at 224 bits (~112 bit security level) or 255 bits (~128 bit security level) yet, so I've just done the former for now. This drops the old curves under 224 bits, updates the extension example bytes, and deprecates MD5.
As noted on-list, SHA1 can't be as easily dealt with here, so that'll be a topic for a separate changeset.
Here's a PR for this: Question: Are we dropping all curves <224 bits or <255 bits? (was consensus ever called on this specific number?)
There was not a specific WG consensus call on this point. I hope we don't need one and that we should keep the curves in that are used and trim the ones that aren't.
Good. In that case, I'll slash everything other than secp256r1 (prime256v1 / NIST P-256), secp384r1 (NIST P-384), secp521r1 (NIST P-521), and sect571r1 (NIST B-571). (plus, of course, new CFRG curves yet to be added) PR updated. URL URL
Based on the fact that apparently precisely zero servers actually use SHA-224 for signatures, can we drop that too while we're at it? (not an exaggeration; the scan cited in the last comment shows none)
I would drop it. spt On Jun 17, 2015, at 20:09, Dave Garrett EMAIL wrote:
