OpenSSL name:

SRP-AES-128-CBC-SHA

GnuTLS name:

TLS_SRP_SHA_AES_128_CBC_SHA1

Hex code:

0xC0, 0x1D

TLS Version(s):

TLS1.0, TLS1.1, TLS1.2

---

Protocol:

Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Key Exchange:

Secure Remote Password (SRP)

Authentication:

Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA)

Secure Hash Algorithm 1:

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

Encryption:

Advanced Encryption Standard with 128bit key in Cipher Block Chaining mode (AES 128 CBC)

Cipher Block Chaining:

In 2013, researchers demonstrated a timing attack against several TLS implementations using the CBC encryption algorithm (see isg.rhul.ac.uk). Additionally, the CBC mode is vulnerable to plain-text attacks in TLS 1.0, SSL 3.0 and lower. A fix has been introduced with TLS 1.2 in form of the GCM mode which is not vulnerable to the BEAST attack. GCM should be preferred over CBC.

Hash:

Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA)

Secure Hash Algorithm 1:

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