3155527 - Update to Cipher Suites for FalseStart - Version: 1.0
published on 2016-05-10 17:00:00 UTC byContent:
Revision Note: V1.0 (May 10, 2016): Advisory published.
Summary: FalseStart allows the TLS client to send application data before receiving and verifying the server Finished message. This allows an attacker to launch a man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack to force the TLS client to encrypt the first flight of application_data records using the attacker’s chosen cipher suite from the client’s list. To avoid downgrade attacks, TLS clients only allow FalseStart when their strongest cipher suites are negotiated.
