- Protocol:
- Transport Layer Security (TLS)
- Key Exchange:
- Rivest Shamir Adleman algorithm (RSA)
- Authentication:
- Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
- Encryption:
- Rivest Cipher 4 with 128bit key (RC4 128)
- Hash:
- HMAC Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA)

Non-ephemeral Key Exchange:
This key exchange algorithm does not support Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) which is recommended, so attackers cannot decrypt the complete communication stream.
Rivest Cipher 4:
IETF has officially prohibited RC4 for use in TLS in RFC 7465. Therefore, it can be considered insecure.
Secure Hash Algorithm 1:
The Secure Hash Algorithm 1 has been proven to be insecure as of 2017 (see shattered.io).
