[Ach] NSA stops recommending AES-128, curve P-256, and SHA-256

[Alan Orth]

I'm not sure if you folks saw this, but a few weeks ago the NSA updated
their Suite B recommendations. They now recommend AES-256, curve P-384, and
SHA-384. Here's a before and after of their "Suite B" cryptography
recommendations:

After:

Now you need to decide to yourself if this is worth updating your
infrastructure configuration. :)
