| Once this has been done, edit the cipher list in the server prefs SSH port item, SSH tab to duplicate the AES128 ciphers and replace the 128 with 256. Your Encryption, SSL tab items will automatically include the new items. Stronger key and keystore files will now work properly too. You will now be secure using strong cryptography instead of the weakened default policy that ships with Java due to 1990's bureaucracy.\\ |
