You missed a nice COMMON webcast last week. A big part of it talked about
using old, deprecated ciphers.

IBM i and Our False Sense of Security (FREE to Members)
Speaker: Steve Pitcher, Scotsburn Ice Cream Co.
Do you use a non-encrypted port 23 for Telnet? What about a web
application that uses HTTP instead of HTTPS? Are you using old, deprecated
ciphers? If so, your IBM i data is at risk.
While IBM i is arguably the most securable operating system in the world,
your environment may have some wide open doors that you can't ignore. This
session will highlight the importance of encrypting data in transit and
show you how to do it easily with minimal interruption to the business.

lists all since 2009 (for now).
