setCipherSuite
Syntax
setCipherSuite(context,cipherSpecs)
Note: This function is case-sensitive. If you want it to be case-insensitive, you
must compile your programs using the BASIC command with the -i option.
Description
The setCipherSuite() function enables you to identify which cipher suites to support
for the specified context. It affects the cipher suites and public key algorithms
supported during the SSL/TLS handshake and subsequent data exchanges.
When a context is created, its cipher suites will all be set to SSLv3 suites by default.
The CipherSpecs parameter is a string containing cipher-spec separated by colons.
An SSL cipher specification in cipher-spec is composed of 4 major attributes as well
as several, less significant attributes. These are defined below.
Some of this information on ciphers is excerpted from the mod_ssl open source
package of the Apache web server.
Key Exchange Algorithm - RSA or Diffie-Hellman variants.
Authentication Algorithm - RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSS or none.
Cipher/Encryption Algorithm - DES, Triple-DES, RC4, RC2, or none.
MAC Digest Algorithm - MD5, SHA or SHA1.
An SSL cipher can also be an export cipher and is either an SSLv2 or SSLv3/TLSv1
cipher (here TLSv1 is equivalent to SSLv3). To specify which ciphers to use, one can
either specify all the ciphers, one at a time, or use aliases to specify the preference
and order for the ciphers.
