4.19.2 019: response

Use of MD5, SHA1 as hashes and 3DES for cipher is currently used. This will be maintained.

1DES is considered insecure and will not be added. RC4 is considered insecure and will not be added.

The project will only add new algorithms after extensive discussion. AES is currently under discussion, but is not scheduled to be added at this time.
