question on cipher suites



An issue was recently brought up in regards to using TLS in AS3. Within the TLS handshaking, the connecting AS3 application only uses one cipher, 3DES, in the handshaking. In this case, the FTP server receiving the connection does not support 3DES but does support others. Since the AS3 app does not support anything but 3DES, it can not work through the handshaking to find a cipher both agree on.

 

Would it be necessary to state something within the AS3 draft about supporting a specific set of ciphers. Or, is this outside the scope of AS3 since it may lie only with the FTP server be beyond the control of the AS3 application.
