The TLS WG could have easly provided an adequate PFS solution many years ago that could be trivially enabled for all existing implementations. Ephermeral RSA. 99% of the code is already present in all implementations, because this is used in the RSA_EXP cipher suites. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg01541.html (EC)DHE is a mess, because both, servers and clients will regularly have to regenerate new keys, and there are going to be severl different keys necessary for the preferences of various servers and sometimes, the client-side key generation will have to be performed inline. How many different keys will clients need for ECDHE? With Ephemeral RSA, only the server has to generate the temporary RSA keypair, and can *ALWAYS* generate the ephemeral RSA keypair out-of-band. I'm not a cryptographer, but I'm actually not convinced that counter modes of AES are a road I want to travel. (I'm wondering: do we actually know the length of the cycles of AES in counter mode? Is there a paper describing what assumption the security of counter modes are based on, and formal proofs that AES actually has all these properties?) I have not yet seen anything worrisome about AES-CBC. And the CBC padding oracle that Vaudenay complained about could have trivially been fixed in TLSv1.1 already, since the problem, and its solution, were described in Vaudenay's paper. We can still fix it with Peter's proposal. -Martin
