This seems like such a simple question but I can't seem to find a straight answer. I just want to know what SSL/TLS cipher suites are available in Xamarin/mono. This question has been asked here before, but its answer points to a link that is seven years old at this point. The analogous entry in the mono source, is similarly anachronistic. Have they really not updated their available cipher suites in five (at least) years?! No DHE?!

I would be shocked if I weren't missing something pretty basic. Please help me out!

  • Xamarin is working on TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2, but I don't know the cipher suites. You can follow the commits here: https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/work-newtls – jstedfast Jun 14 '15 at 20:18
  • Based on this [README](https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/work-newtls/mcs/class/Mono.Security.Providers/README.md), it appears the idea is to provide a platform abstraction. – jstedfast Jun 14 '15 at 20:24
  • Thanks @jstedfast for the response. I was going to look through the source, but this particular issue wasn't important enough and I really didn't have the time. And frankly, I really thought that "what type of cipher suites do you offer?" was the type of question whose answer should be easy to find in documentation. – P Jones Jun 15 '15 at 16:38
  • It's probably just something very few people actually care about. – jstedfast Jun 16 '15 at 10:15

So reading this post from Jan 2014 by a Xamarin spokesperson, I think that the answer is yes, Xamarin is stuck in 2008.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
