Microsoft said users could disable the RSA key exchange ciphers that result in FREAK by changing the SSL Cipher Suite in the Group Policy Object Editor -- unless they are using Windows Server 2003, which does not allow for individual ciphers to be enabled and disabled.
The predefined EC domain parameters are used according to the negotiated cipher suite. Second, the node produces a random cryptographic nonce [N.sub.U], calculates message authentication code (MAC) value (i.e., MAC[[R.sub.U],U, [N.sub.U]]), and sends those two along with the Certificate Request message.
The two most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency: and the use of the CCMP cipher suite in place of TKIP.
RC4 is used in SSL Record Protocol for encryption in many SSL cipher suites. In the Handshaking Protocol, RC4 encryption keys are generated for upstream and downstream communication.
"A connection is vulnerable if the server accepts RSA_EXPORT cipher suites and the client either offers an RSA_EXPORT suite or is using a version of OpenSSL that is vulnerable to CVE-2015-0204.
