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.
RSA Authentication:
There are reports that servers using the RSA authentication algorithm with keys longer than 3072-bit may experience heavy performance issues leading to connection timeouts and even service unavailability if many clients open simultaneous connections.
NULL Encryption:
This cipher suite uses no encryption at all. Hence, it does not provide confidentiality protection.
