Is the lack of modern ciphers fixable in software? There are plenty of use cases for one TLS session as are there use cases where security doesn't matter, like sending sensor data.
- callalex 10y agoThere is no such thing as a case where security doesn't matter. Even if a sensor isn't detecting something sensitive, it is probably being fed into a system that does need to be secure and now you have an easy entry point.

There are plenty of use cases for one TLS session as are there use cases where security doesn't matter, like sending sensor data. They don't have enough resources for an 4096 bit RSA negotiation, so they top out at 2048 bit. You may be able to use some of the newer elliptical curve stuff. I was going to try and get nacl/libsodium working on them, but gave up when I realised I can just use a more powerful board instead.
