Tinc 1.1 support two protocols. The first is a legacy protocol that provides
backwards compatibility with tinc 1.0 nodes, and which by default uses 2048 bit
-RSA keys for authentication, and encrypts traffic using Blowfish in CBC mode
-and HMAC-SHA1. The second is a new protocol which uses Curve25519 keys for
+RSA keys for authentication, and encrypts traffic using AES256 in CBC mode
+and HMAC-SHA256. The second is a new protocol which uses Curve25519 keys for
authentication, and encrypts traffic using Chacha20-Poly1305, and provides
forward secrecy.
