There's a typo on "Triple Hanshake" and "the are" instead of "there are".

The mention of AES-GCM is only optimal if using hardware and counters (see
the router link below), otherwise the random nonce is too small. I'm not
sure if this is a practical issue for implementations.

I would like if the implementation issues section had a section on
libraries not filtering out obsolete signature algorithms and cipher
suites, and not checking small key sizes (even on the root certificate):

https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:MD5and1024
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/hash/policy.html

Additionally, the URL to Georgiev2012 is to
http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2382196.2382204 which is a paywalled site: it
would be more effective for readers if it pointed to the accessable URL
