They're preferred cipher suites for several browsers, e.g. Firefox and Chrome: http://sim.ivi.co/2011/07/firefox-preference-of-tls-cipher-suites.html http://sim.ivi.co/2011/07/google-chrome-preference-of-tls-cipher.html so they're not only not neglected, they're actively used. >There are also optimizations that could be done (e.g., the server specifying >the size of the generator's subgroup), but no-one ever bothered to update the >protocol. That would be very useful, so you could perform DSA-style checks on the key parameters. Peter.
