Cipher Suites Used by Alteon
You can set which cipher suite is allowed during the SSL handshake.
A number of pre-defined cipher suites are provided by Alteon, as well as the ability for the user to define its own cipher suite:
*ALL- All cipher suites supported by Alteon.
*Main (Default)-The main (default) cipher suite. This is the recommended, secure, cipher suite.
*Http2-HTTP/2 cipher suite. Required on HTTP/2 enabled services.
*RSA-Cipher suite that includes only ciphers using RSA as key exchange.
*PCI DSS Compliance- Legacy suite for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Recommended to use Main suite.
*ALL Non-Null Ciphers-All cipher suites supported by Alteon, except the NULL ciphers and ciphers offering no authentication, which must be explicitly enabled.
*Low — “Low” encryption cipher suites, currently using 64 or 56 bit encryption algorithms but excluding export cipher suites.
*Medium — “Medium” encryption cipher suites, currently using 128 bit encryption.
*High — “High” encryption cipher suites. Currently key lengths are larger than 128 bits.
*User Defined-Allows to define own list of ciphers from all supported ciphers. Recommended to use Expert User Defined for such cases.
*Expert User Defined -Allows to define own list of ciphers from all supported ciphers using OpenSSL syntax.
