Insecure Cipher Suite

IANA name:

TLS_DH_anon_WITH_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA

OpenSSL name:

ADH-CAMELLIA256-SHA

GnuTLS name:

TLS_DH_ANON_CAMELLIA_256_CBC_SHA1

Hex code:

0x00, 0x89

TLS Version(s):

TLS1.0, TLS1.1, TLS1.2

---

Protocol:

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Key Exchange:

Diffie-Hellman (DH)

Non-ephemeral Diffie-Hellman:

Diffie-Hellman key exchanges not using ephemeral keys do not support Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) which is recommended, so attackers cannot decrypt the whole communication stream.

Authentication:

Anonymous (anon)

Anonymous key exchange:

Anonymous key exchanges are generally vulnerable to Man in the Middle attacks.

Encryption:

CAMELLIA with 256bit key in Cipher Block Chaining mode (CAMELLIA 256 CBC)

Cipher Block Chaining:

The CBC mode is vulnerable to plain-text attacks with TLS 1.0, SSL 3.0 and lower. However a real fix is implemented with TLS 1.2 in which the GCM mode was introduced and which is not vulnerable to the BEAST attack. GCM should be preferred over CBC (cf. BEAST).

Hash:

Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA)

Secure Hash Algorithm 1:

The Secure Hash Algorithm 1 has been proven to be insecure as of 2017 (cf. shattered.io).
