Hi All, We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.8.3 of the BouncyCastle C# Crypto API.
There is an important note regarding the use of DH ciphersuites in TLS: "In this release, the TLS library has moved to a whitelisting approach for client-side validation of server-presented Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters. In the default configuration, if a ciphersuite using ephemeral DH is selected by the server, the client will abort the handshake if the proposed DH group is not one of those specified in RFC 3526 or RFC 7919, or if the DH prime is < 2048 bits. The client therefore no longer offers DH ciphersuites by default." We encourage all users of the library to upgrade to this version. Please visit http://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/ for the release notes and to download the .NET 1.1 assembly or the source code. Also see https://github.com/bcgit/bc-csharp/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed for details of resolved issues.
