Enable TLSV1.1 &TLS1.2 in Mule ESB - ssl

To enable SSL/TLS protocols I had updated tls-default.conf file with "enabledProtocols=TLSv1.2"entry. And also add wrapper.java.additional.=-Djavax.net.debug=ssl to enable SSL debugging.
After running Mule I got the logs mentioned below:
ClientHello, TLSv1
RandomCookie:...
..
ServerHello, TLSv1
From the above logs it is clear that TLSv1 is used instead of TLSv1.2
I am using Mule Version 3.5.2
And JDK 7 which has SunJSSE security provider which allows (PKCS12, SunX509 key/trust factories, SSLv3, TLSv1) protocols.
Is there any way to find out the enabled protocols apart from looking into SSL Handshake logs?

Is it possible to bridge TLSv1 traffic to TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.3

I've got a web application with nginx supporting https with TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2 protocols. We'd like to stop supporting TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 due to well known security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, we have some legacy clients running very old OSes that cannot be upgraded to connect over TLSv1.2. As a solution would it be possible to place a proxy in front of our web app that takes traffic solely from these legacy clients and have that proxy support decrypting TLSv1 but re-encrypt that traffic using TLSv1.2 before proxying it forward? Is this something that nginx can do? Would the responses returned to the client be encrypted with TLSv1?

Is it possible to use TLSv1.3 ciphers in TLSv1.2 session?

I'm reversing an Android application and I noticed, while sniffing, that something weird happens.
TLSv1.3 introduces few new ciphers such as
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
And, from what I've read on OpenSSL documentation (https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3),
There are new ciphersuites that only work in TLSv1.3. The old ciphersuites cannot be used for TLSv1.3 connections and the new ones cannot be used in TLSv1.2 and below.
Now, this application does something very strange: .
It is using TLSv1.2 with new TLSv1.3 ciphers during "Client Hello" and server, which also supports TLSv1.3, allows it and they start the communication for some reason.
How is that possible? Thank you.
No, you are missing an important new aspect I think ( I can not see your linked image, you should post all relevant data inside the question itself).
For compatibility reasons, TLSv1.3 try to mask itself as TLSv1.2 during ClientHello, see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446#section-4.1.2 :
4.1.2. Client Hello
When a client first connects to a server, it is REQUIRED to send the
ClientHello as its first TLS message.
Structure of this message:
uint16 ProtocolVersion;
opaque Random[32];
uint8 CipherSuite[2]; /* Cryptographic suite selector */
struct {
ProtocolVersion legacy_version = 0x0303; /* TLS v1.2 */
Random random;
opaque legacy_session_id<0..32>;
CipherSuite cipher_suites<2..2^16-2>;
opaque legacy_compression_methods<1..2^8-1>;
Extension extensions<8..2^16-1>;
} ClientHello;
Note the legacy_version being TLSv1.2 in fact, and then the explanation:
legacy_version: In previous versions of TLS, this field was used for
version negotiation and represented the highest version number
supported by the client. Experience has shown that many servers
do not properly implement version negotiation, leading to "version
intolerance" in which the server rejects an otherwise acceptable
ClientHello with a version number higher than it supports. In
TLS 1.3, the client indicates its version preferences in the
"supported_versions" extension (Section 4.2.1) and the
legacy_version field MUST be set to 0x0303, which is the version
number for TLS 1.2. TLS 1.3 ClientHellos are identified as having
a legacy_version of 0x0303 and a supported_versions extension
present with 0x0304 as the highest version indicated therein.
(See Appendix D for details about backward compatibility.)
As for cipher suites and TLS versions, the situation is more complicated. TLSv1.3 standardized only a few of them as mandatory, for reasons explained in the specification.
However that does not strictly forbid other TLS versions to use them either.
See:
ChaCha20-Poly1305 Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS): This document describes the use of the ChaCha stream cipher and
Poly1305 authenticator in version 1.2 or later of the Transport Layer
Security (TLS) protocol
TLS 1.2 Update for Long-term Support with AES+SHA
The "AES GCM" family was defined 10 years ago in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5116
TLSv1.3 standardized on only perfect forward privacy so that meant only (EC)DHE key exchanges, if not using PSK (see section 2 of RFC8446)
Have a look at https://security.stackexchange.com/a/77018/137710 and https://github.com/ssllabs/research/wiki/SSL-and-TLS-Deployment-Best-Practices#23-use-secure-cipher-suites
But the TLSv1.3 ciphers suite is defined differently, using new names, because previous ones were not relevant anymore, as TLS 1.3 made some choices about algorithms to use, etc. that removes volatility in some parts.
Hence you will see this warning in OpenSSL changelog:
Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
(https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/5392)
CloudFlare documentation on https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200933580-What-cipher-suites-does-CloudFlare-use-for-SSL- says below table:
Although TLS 1.3 uses the same cipher suite space as previous versions of TLS, TLS 1.3 cipher suites are defined differently, only specifying the symmetric ciphers, and cannot be used for TLS 1.2. Similarly, TLS 1.2 and lower cipher suites cannot be used with TLS 1.3 (IETF TLS 1.3 draft 21).

Fail to address multiple TLS versions due to session caching

I am using WSO2 API Manager (which support every TLS version) to communicate with TLSv1.1 service. This SSL handshake happens like this.
Client(APIM) Hello TLSv1.2
Server Hello TLSv1.1
handshake successful which is expected.
Then i change the backend service to TLSv1.2 and the handshake fails as below.
Client(APIM) Hello TLSv1.1
Handshake fails.
Here, the APIM initiates the Client Hello with TLSv1.1 based on previous knowledge that the server is using TLSv1.1 . But, since the server is now upgraded to TLSv1.2, it rejects communicating with APIM which is TLSv1.1 .
This is acceptable. Since it is unlikely that the backend service is changing its TLS version on the fly. But if i try after 30 minutes idle time, APIM initiates Client Hello with TLSv1.2 and Server Hello with TLSv1.2 therefore, succesfull handshake.
My assumption is this happens because after around 30 minutes, APIM's SSL session gets timeout. What i want to know is this exact timeout value.
I have tried every timeout value in the configuration files in both APIM and its tomcat.
Thanks in advance

How do you enable TLS 1.2 on Spring-boot?

I am trying to enable TLS 1.2 on Tomcat on Spring-boot 1.2.1. Android 5.0 is failing to connect to the default SSL settings, due to an SSL handshake failure. Android 4.4, iOS, Firefox, and Chrome all connect to the default version. I think this is because of a mismatch in the TLS protocols supported in Android 5.0 and the spring boot tomcat defaults (TLS v1?).
I imagine I want to change this application.properties setting:
server.ssl.protocol=TLS
but I have not located the other acceptable strings (or if there are any, even). There is no enumeration that I can find by searching on "protocol" in spring boot github.
I have tried "TLSv1.2", but this appears to have no effect.
The current SSL configuration in application.properties is:
server.ssl.key-store = chainedcertificates.p12
server.ssl.key-store-password = secret
server.ssl.key-store-type = PKCS12
How do you enable TLS 1.2 in spring boot?
If it matters, I am using Java 1.7. The documentation for this seems to indicate it should support TLS 1.2.
Tomcat 8 seems to have support present. I am not sure how to check exactly which version is running in spring boot.
You may experience an SSL handshake error due to the default ciphers that spring boot includes. It is recommended that you define a set of ciphers. We had a similar issue, and the way we fixed it was by using SSLScan on the caller and then scanning our system to see if there were any matches. This lead us to find out that there were no matches and helped us define a list of ciphers we should support.
Using SSLScan these are the default ciphers spring boot will use:
Preferred TLSv1.2 128 bits ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 Curve P-256 DHE 256
Accepted TLSv1.2 128 bits ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 Curve P-256 DHE 256
Accepted TLSv1.2 128 bits ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA Curve P-256 DHE 256
Accepted TLSv1.2 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 DHE 1024 bits
Accepted TLSv1.2 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 DHE 1024 bits
Accepted TLSv1.2 128 bits DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA DHE 1024 bits
To enable TLS 1.2 and to define the cipher list please do the following:
#enable/diable https
server.ssl.enabled=true
#ssl ciphers
server.ssl.ciphers=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, INCLUDE_ANY_OTHER_ONES_YOU_NEED_TO_SUPPORT
# SSL protocol to use.
server.ssl.protocol=TLS
# Enabled SSL protocols.
server.ssl.enabled-protocols=TLSv1.2
For a list of of ciphers you can use https://testssl.sh/openssl-rfc.mapping.html and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt813794(v=vs.85).aspx
TLS 1.2 is enabled by default in spring-boot 1.2.1. This can be verified by running the following from the command line
openssl s_client -connect serverAddress:port
which outputs
SSL-Session:
Protocol : TLSv1.2
Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384
So my problem must be something separate.

Disable SSLv3 in Openfire

How do you disable SSLv3 protocol in Openfire and make it use only TLS ?
I am using Openfire 3.8.2 version.Is it any changes related to Jetty ?
