Author: Anthony Lecorchick. In February 2015, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) released RFC 7465, prohibiting the RC4 cipher suite in TLS. At this point, the IETF considers RC4 to be “on the verge of becoming practically exploitable...[and] can no longer be seen as providing a sufficient level of security for TLS sessions.”
