And the brief summary is: there's only one ciphersuite left that's
good, and unfortunately its only available in TLS 1.2:
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
A lot of people don't like GCM either ;)
Yes, GCM does have implementation sensitivities particularly around the
IV generation. That being said, the algorithm is better than most and
the implementation sensitivity obvious (don't ever reuse an IV).
I think the difficulty of getting a fast constant time implementation on
platforms without AES-NI type hardware support are more of a concern.
