For (D)TLS 1.2, this document deprecates the use of two key exchanges, namely Diffie-Hellman (DH) over a finite field and RSA. It also discourages the use of static Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) cipher suites.

These prescriptions apply only to (D)TLS 1.2, since (D)TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 are deprecated by RFC 8996 and (D)TLS 1.3 either does not use the affected algorithms or does not share the relevant configuration options. (There is no DTLS version 1.1.)

This document updates RFCs 4162, 4279, 4346, 4785, 5246, 5288, 5289, 5469, 5487, 5932, 6209, 6347, 6367, 6655, 7905, 8422, and 9325 to either deprecate or discourage the use of cipher suites using the above key exchange methods in (D)TLS 1.2 connections.

This document is a product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF.
