Why 8446 is special

It removed every cipher suite with a known weakness rather than deprecating them, and cut the handshake from two round trips to one. Deleting options is what made it both faster and safer.

8 × 1,000 + 4 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 8,446. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Reuse of a small set of standardised Diffie-Hellman groups is what made precomputation attacks against many connections worthwhile.

Technology & computing

  • TLS 1.3 deleted the weak algorithms rather than discouraging them, and the smaller negotiation also halved the handshake latency. Fewer options produced better security and better performance at once.
