What kind of AES is Splunk using?

[dkeck]

Hello,

If anybody could tell me what type of AES splunk is using? (-128,-192,-256 bit?)

Would be great.

Thank you

Hi dkeck, this documentation describes what ciphersuites are available for the version of splunk you are running : http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.5/Security/Determineyourciphersuite

In particular:

$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ciphers -v
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ciphers -v "TLSv1.2"
$SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ciphers -v "HIGH"

Essentially you choose the cipher via the various splunk config settings, which in turn is based on the openssl version.

For more on Splunk and SSL/TLS, I'd recommend checking out this presentation from .conf http://www.georgestarcher.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/conf2015_DWaddle_DefensePointSecurity_deplo...

Please let me know if this helps! 😄
