TLS-AEGIS-128L-SHA256 Cipher Suite
A breakdown of the Cipher Suite TLS_AEGIS_128L_SHA256, its strengths, and its weaknesses.
Cipher
Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data - AEGIS
Grade - C
Low usage
Hash
Secure Hash Algorithm 256 Bit - SHA256
Grade - A
Improving greatly from SHA1, SHA-256 and above create secure hashes through robust cryptographic algorithms that ensure collision resistance and preimage resistance. They process input data in fixed-size blocks, applying complex mathematical transformations that make it computationally impractical to reverse-engineer the original data from its hash.
