SSL Survey (30 Jul 2010)

Ivan Ristić has put together a fantastic survey of the state of SSL/TLS on the web. Some highlights include:

  • 50% of the root CAs in Firefox appear to be unused.
  • 44% of sites send unneeded certificates in their chains.
  • 99% of sites work with only 23 roots.
  • A total of 3 DSA keys from all valid sites found.
  • 50% of servers still support SSLv2
  • Almost nobody uses TLS 1.1 or 1.2
  • Only 12 sites support STS :(
  • 20.5% support the reneg extension.
  • (32% support insecure renegotiation.)
