[AOLSERVER-COMMITS] nsopenssl ChangeLog, 1.120, 1.121 README, 1.6, 1.7 sslcontext.c, 1.14, 1.15

[Scott S. Goodwin]

Update of /cvsroot/aolserver/nsopenssl
In directory sfp-cvs-1.v30.ch3.sourceforge.com:/tmp/cvs-serv25785

Modified Files:
ChangeLog README sslcontext.c
Log Message:
Changed ECDH to use 2048 bit ECDH parameters as 1024 bit or less parameters are
now considered weak and insecure and can subject your site to the LOGJAM
attack. The 1024 bit ECDH included code is commented out; what bit size
parameters one sets up may become a configuration option in the future.

See: https://weakdh.org

Turned on preference for enforcing server cipher order
(SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE) to prevent a client from using a lower
security cipher suite if a higher security one is available on both ends
(though I think you can set the order manually via the CipherSuite parameter
and set a less secure cipher suite order). This is hard-coded for now but may
become an option in the future with a reasonable default.

Updated README ns_param for Protocols and CipherSuites to be more secure
examples.
