4 Section Apache 2.1.1 recommends Rewrite instead of Redirect. Should be 301! (We correctly recommend 301 in the nginx section.)
11 * be consistent: 2048 RSA < 128 bit symmetric cipher strength. We should aim at 128+ bits symmetric strength. --> fix RSA 2048 in the document. Upgrade to 3072
13 * clean up 9.5 "chossing your own cipher"
15 * DDOS possibilities when we increase cyrpto security?? What about that? (--> LATER)
17 * write a Justification section to every setting, maybe have that later in the document.
19 * more focus on these sections:
21 - SSH : do we need a client subsection?
23 DONE * move the explanations to a later part of the document. Code snippets go *first* . The target group is sysadmins, must be easily copy & paste-able. Or find a different way so that they can easily use/read the document
25 DONE * Decide/Discuss recommended ciphers:
26 - DH parameters: what is our recommendation? >2048? >=2048? leave default (aka 1024)?
27 --> answer: we trust IETF/IKE as described in ECRYPT2
29 * comments from IAIK integrate (--> Aaron, check again if it was done)
30 DONE * SHA-1 section: write why it is a problem (--> Florian Mendel)
31 * PKI section (--> Thomas Schreck)
32 DONE * include OpenSSL names/IANA names into appendix (--> cm)
33 * Document RNG problem in Apache (--> Pepi)
34 DONE * Oracle ?? (--> Berg?? maybe . Or aaron: ask nic.at. Or link to T-Systems paper) --> T-Systems paper
35 DONE * DB2 (--> Berg. Or ask MLeyrer)
36 * Add AES128 to cipherStringA ?
37 * re-work chapter 2 (practical settings). Add lots of references to chapter 3 to get people interested in reading the theory.
38 * Document : add license
40 * compare gv.at Richtlinien with our recommendations.
44 People with outdated browsers (winXP) etc can't see our webpage. --> make a landing page explaining
45 how to updated the browser :)
51 * check all http:// URLs that we reference - check if they are also reachable via httpS:// and if so, change our reference
53 DONE * one-column layout: make page margins smaller
54 DONE * add large "DRAFT" letters on top of every page.
55 DONE make the git version number part of the document
56 DONE * Layout of sample code (lstisting format) : make it pretty!
57 Rendering in Firefox (inline) on Windows seems to be really messed up. What happenened?
59 * make every section like the Apache section (--> Aaron)
61 * make a HTML Version of the document. It is much easier to copy & paste from than from PDFs.
62 * Add Timestamp and git shorthash, not only date, to the title page of the document. Easier to check if you version of the document is current!
64 * \usepackage[utf8]{inputencoding} and all the other \usepackage things in applied-crypto-hardening.tex should be reviewed and we should take a look if it should't all be in common/\*.tex
66 * check epigraph: why is the "---" gone? Is it gone?
71 Requested by many people on Twitter
72 * Plain TXT version for use on headless servers
73 * HTML version for better reading in browsers and always up-to-date
74 * EPUB version for comfortable reading on tablets and ebook readers
80 * how to keep things up to date?
81 * how to automatically test compatibility?
82 * how to make sure that this document has the latest information on cipher strengths?
83 * !! GPG sign every PDF !!
84 * store the keys in DNS: see RFC 4398
91 add "we don't deal with ICS devices. Nonono"
94 src/commons/cipherstringb.tex --> remove the "!SRP"
97 Add "Dovecot" in front of 2.0.19apple1
98 Postfix section: smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 instead of = 0
101 Postgresql: put in \%*\cipherstringB*) in the config!
102 Mysql: put in \%*\cipherstringB*) in the config!
103 Oracle: mark this as "we do not test this here, since we only reference other papers for Oracle so far"
104 DB2: mark this as "we do not test this here, since we only reference other papers for Oracle so far"
105 sed -i /IMB Db2/IBM DB2/g
107 * theory/PKI.tex line 120: "a previously created certificate" --> "a previously created key"!
111 Header Strict-Transport-Security "... includeSubDomains": we need to meed to mention that this can be a big pitfall.
112 Also do some more research on this!
113 For example: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-strict-transport-sec#section-6.1
114 fix lighttpd HTTP redirection and env vars
115 lighthttpd: ssl.ec-curve = "secp384"
116 ssl.dh-file = "/etc/lighttpd/dhparams-group16.pem"
117 ssl.ec-curve = "secp384r1"
120 keep it "Howto" not "How-to"
123 fix the subsubsection{XMPP/ Jabber} part. There seems to be a mix up here ? Maybe? --> check again
126 openssh - remark that ServerKeyBits might still be useful. Add a note that sometimes old keys are very very old and 1024 bits.
129 mention that sslscan (the tool) does not understand all cipherstrings! For example SHA2-\* is missing
130 --> recommend something better
132 - tools -> section SSL \& TLS: "lever your https" --> that's not a sentence. Fix it
133 - make this more uniform: the \url in the itemized list should always be either always at the beginnig or always at the end.
136 check the formatting of \cite[chapter16]{ii2011ecrypt}
137 same section: group 19-21 (256--521 bit ECC )... we need to mention it! We can not ignore it!
139 * cipher\_suites/architecture.tex:
140 IANA nomencalture part: make a reference to the appendix here
142 * .gitignore: add title.log
145 * epigraph balance between freedom and security is a delicate one --> remove this epigraph. It's not so fitting.
148 * re-write PKI section: make it *much* shorter. Reference: https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/pkitutorial.pdf and
149 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509#Problems_with_certificate_authorities.
151 * scan our local region of the internet for https/smtp/imaps/pop3s
155 - key management , key life cycle
157 - common / default passphrases
161 * Wish List for software vendors?
162 * sweet spot, wo koennen wir was sinnvoll machen, was waere zu viel (8192 bit keys...)
165 1. document the abstract needs that we have for the cipher settings (HSTS etc)
166 Then find the best cipher setting strings per se
167 Only then put it to all servers and keep it rather uniformely (as much as possible)
171 * Test especially with non-Debian-OS!
173 * Test with more clients and other OSes than OSX / iPhone!!
178 - Playstation und XBox? --> LATER!
181 - Windows Phone 7 ???
183 - chapter owner makes a test setup
184 - tested by: XXX , on: $date. Screenshot of SSLlabs/ $testtool. (checktls.com)
186 * document (cite) EVERYTHING! Why we chose certain values. References, references, references. Otherwise it does not count!
188 DONE * .bib file is completely wrong. Make good citations/references. Add books: Schneier, ...
189 * !! important: add the version string to everything that we tested!!
192 - security specialists / freaks who want the very best settings
193 - should as many clients work with the settings as possible
194 * look at TLS1.2 specs and really check if we want all of these settings
197 Practical settings section
199 Definitely still missing these subsubsections:
200 * Exchange Server ?? (--> bei M$ angefragt, Evtl. Beitrag von A-Trust)
202 DONE * Exim4 (-> Adi & Wolfgang Breya)
203 DONE * Checkpoint (-> cm)
204 * Asa / Palo Alto (-> Azet)
205 * Terminal Server (VNC ), ??

259 ----- snip ---- all protocols that we looked at --- snip ----
268 DONE - add two, three sentences
269 DONE - mention HaveGED

283 * Windows Active Directory
284 DONE * SRP: not part of this document. But we did not exclude it in our cipher string :)
285 DONE * \cipherA , \cipherB setting ---> does not work in our \begin{listing} environment --> maybe there is a different listing environment or use awk/sed/make/perl/python
286 * What about 3270 terminal emulation? How to do crypto there? Can we? ( --> IBM sec. Stammtisch. Aaron)
289 * client/users-guide:
