`medium': Default.  Suitable for most circumstances.

follow these practices inside a school or corporate network, NSM
may produce warnings for such occasions.  Setting this option to
a non-nil value, or a zero-argument function that returns non-nil
tells NSM to skip checking for potential TLS vulnerabilities when
connecting to hosts on a local network.

Make sure you know what you are doing before enabling this

be examined.  If it's a non-TLS connection, it may be compared
against previous connections.  If the function determines that
there is something odd about the connection, the user will be
queried about what to do about it.

The process is returned if everything is OK, and otherwise, the
process will be deleted and nil is returned.

If SAVE-FINGERPRINT, always save the fingerprint of the

to keep track of the TLS status of STARTTLS servers.

If WARN-UNENCRYPTED, query the user if the connection is
unencrypted."

The Logjam paper suggests using 1024-bit prime on the client to
mitigate some effects of this attack, and upgrade to 2048-bit as
soon as server configurations allow.  According to SSLLabs' SSL

  "Check for MD5 signatures on certificates.

In 2008, a group of researchers were able to forge an
intermediate CA certificate that appeared to be legitimate when
checked by MD5[1].  RFC 6151[2] has recommended against the usage
of MD5 for digital signatures, which includes TLS certificate
signatures.

Since GnuTLS 3.3.0, MD5 has been disabled by default, but can be
enabled if requested.
