During the SSL handshake, the client and server negotiate
a common security protocol via a CipherSuite. Cipher
Suites are preferential lists of key-exchange
algorithms, hashing methods, and encryption methods used by SSL-enabled
applications. For a complete
description of Cipher Suites, visit the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) organization.
By default, the strongest CipherSuite supported by both the client and the server is the CipherSuite that is used for the SSL-based session.
Adaptive Server supports the Cipher Suites that are available with the SSL Plus library API and the cryptographic engine, Security Builder™, both from Certicom Corp.
The Cipher Suites listed conform to the Transport Layer
Specification (TLS). TLS is an enhanced version of SSL 3.0, and
is an alias for the SSL version 3.0 Cipher Suites.
