Oct 22, 2014SSL Cipher Order on LTM
Hi All -
With this whole POODLE thing, I'm reevaluating my cipher string. I am considering going with the DEFAULT setting that F5 provides (11.5.1), but I notice that it has the forward secrecy...

Oct 22, 2014I can't say the reason for the default order, though it has seemed in the past F5 has preferred speed over encryption strength. I have switched to using my own lists on sites that I need the highest security on.
Also, I would drop RC4 completely. See https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/600/sol14638.html Even if you upgrade to 11.6 to mitigate this attack, most people tend to consider it broken and not advisable to use.
