No AES, only RC4 encryption used in iCloud?
Hi,
I read the article about iCloud security, and that at least AES-128 encryption is used when communicating with iCloud:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4865?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
However, when trying to verify that, it seems that only RC4-128 is used, at least for contacts and calendar synchronisation.
See for example the caldav.icloud.com server, which is used by iCal on Mac OS X and the iOS calendar apps:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=caldav.icloud.com&s=17.172.116.75
Under handshake simulation, you can only find RC4 encrpyption, which is said to be completely broken and much less secure than AES.
Am I seeing something wrong, or is the statement that at least AES-128 is used, is currently not valid?
