It does not take deployment to trigger analysis. Exactly this: BEAST and Lucky 13 "possible" problem was described in the RFC itself. Same thing for the "new" Bicycle attack - described in the RFC for TLS 1.0 and repeated in each version since. So lets not repeat those mistakes - if there are possible issues, lets fix those, now. -- Regards, Hubert Kario Senior Quality Engineer, QE BaseOS Security team Web: www.cz.redhat.com Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkyňova 99/71, 612 45, Brno, Czech Republic
