Fedora 29 To Further Strengthen Crypto Settings

One of the latest planned features for Fedora 29 is to update the system-wide cryptography policy.

This latest crypto policy would disable legacy cryptographic protocols like TLS 1.0/1.1 as well as weak Diffie-Hellman key exchange sizes. Basically, disable the old and weak crypto components from being part of the default Fedora 29.

It's a quite straight-forward proposal and anyone wishing to learn about the intricacies of their plan can find it on the Fedora Wiki.
