Why not supply the ! list (the ones you want to remove)... It is shorter
and easier to understand and maintain...

I agree, much simpler!

I would dump 3DES and CAMELLIA (less review + hardware acceleration

Good catch, thank you!

I have some serious concerns about the cipher order. AES-GCM should only
be used as default choice if there is hardware acceleration for it.
The resistence against timing attacks is very questionable otherwise.

This argument may apply to CBC with lucky 13, somehow. TBH the
proposed modification does not make things worse compared to the
previous state

This discussion made something apparent to me that I had not considered before.

Perhaps the cipher list should be supplied by a command line argument instead of
being compiled into base so that it can be chosen at runtime?

If that sounds like a good choice, I will send an updated patch.

Thank you all for your feedback,
Travis Paul
