TLS-AEGIS-256-SHA512 Cipher Suite
A breakdown of the Cipher Suite TLS_AEGIS_256_SHA512, its strengths, and its weaknesses.
Cipher
Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data - AEGIS
Grade - C
Low usage
Hash
Secure Hash Algorithm 512 Bit - SHA512
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.
