Summarizing Known Attacks on Transport Layer Security and Datagram TLS
RFC 7457, “Summarizing Known Attacks on Transport Layer Security and Datagram TLS”, is an Informational document published in February 2015 by Y. Sheffer, R. Holz, P. Saint-Andre. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Over the last few years, there have been several serious attacks on Transport Layer Security (TLS), including attacks on its most commonly used ciphers and modes of operation. This document summarizes these attacks, with the goal of motivating generic and protocol-specific recommendations on the usage of TLS and Datagram TLS (DTLS).
