Thanks Joseph, Aki, but something missing from upgrade document, where does the dh param file go? I located ssl-parameters.dat so I will put it there.

A few questions regarding the OpenSSH support for the Diffie Hellman key exchange algorithms: (1) Are the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256", "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1" , "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1" "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" (as defined in RFCs 4253 and RFC 4419) the complete list of key exchange algorithms supported by OpenSSH? (2) Is there a

I'm not sure if collision resistance is required for DH key derivation, but generally, SHA-1 is on its way out. If it's possible (if there's not a very large percentage of servers that do not support anything newer), it should be disabled.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

I?m setting up Dovecot using Homebrew on a new server and am getting this when I try to login via IMAP: Nov 13 14:13:35 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=30719) Nov 13 14:13:35 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<gM0HNIN6HtoAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Nov 13 14:18:33 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory:

e.g. can we make it throw warnings etc. rsa-sha2-256 and rsa-sha2-512 are fine, they use PSS.

Currently, dovecot generates two primes for Diffie-Hellman key exchanges: a 512-bit one and a 1024-bit one. In light of recent events, I think it would be wise to add support for 2048-bit primes as well, or even better, add a configuration option that lets the user select a file (or files) containing the DH parameters In recent years, there has been increased interest in DH especially in its

Hello all, I have recently had cause to dig a little into the specifics of how diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 group sizes work. The belief in the wild, perpetuated by multiple sources of logjam mediation papers and also Andras Stribnik's very influential piece "Secure Secure Shell", is that server operators can force the use of a minimum group size by removing moduli

I have been reading up on TLS and Dovecot and came across this URL: https://www.weakdh.org/sysadmin.html which recommended these settings for Dovecot. I would like to know if they are correct? Some much documentation on the web is pure garbage. Dovecot These changes should be made in /etc/dovecot.conf Cipher Suites

I referred to the fact that there is no value for 4096-bit groups at all. For higher strengths than 128 bits one should probably not use non-EC crypto at all, as the document suggests.

Can we disable diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 too? On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 10:23 PM Mark D.

I ask because the removal of diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 happened accidently in 7.8 due to a mistake in a change to readconf.c. I noticed this and filed a bug about it along with a patch to fix readconf.c to use KEX_CLIENT_* like it used to: https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/1b9dd4aa https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2967 Its clear the removal was unintentional
