Do you know if it's possible to use Netscape client (export = 40bits RC4) on an external SSL layer (i.e., with full encryption, RC4 long keys or IDEA)? Use extra-US implantation (SSL-Leavy or AppacheSSL, etc.) the IDEA option?
Nope.
It seems that IDEA is no longer supported by SSL 3 (in the cipher suite we see IDEA with RSA but not with D-H).
IDEA is in no way deprecated in SSL 3.0. We were just trying to prune the list of cipher suites to what we thought was useful. The cipher suites specified in the SSL 3.0 protocol document are only a beginning. All cipher suites beginning with 0xFF are reserved for experimental use. As part of the IETF standards process, I'd like to see an IANA registry set up for registering new cipher suites. -- Sure we spend a lot of money, but that doesn't mean | Tom Weinstein we *do* anything. -- Washington DC motto | tomw@netscape.com
