ciphers - SSL cipher display and cipher list tool.
18
The B<cipherlist> command converts OpenSSL cipher lists into ordered
19
SSL cipher preference lists. It can be used as a test tool to determine
20
the appropriate cipherlist.
22
=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
28
verbose option. List ciphers with a complete description of
29
protocol version (SSLv2 or SSLv3; the latter includes TLS), key exchange,
30
authentication, encryption and mac algorithms used along with any key size
31
restrictions and whether the algorithm is classed as an "export" cipher.
32
Note that without the B<-v> option, ciphers may seem to appear twice
33
in a cipher list; this is when similar ciphers are available for
34
SSL v2 and for SSL v3/TLS v1.
38
only include SSL v3 ciphers.
42
only include SSL v2 ciphers.
46
only include TLS v1 ciphers.
50
print a brief usage message.
54
a cipher list to convert to a cipher preference list. If it is not included
55
then the default cipher list will be used. The format is described below.
59
=head1 CIPHER LIST FORMAT
61
The cipher list consists of one or more I<cipher strings> separated by colons.
62
Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used.
64
The actual cipher string can take several different forms.
66
It can consist of a single cipher suite such as B<RC4-SHA>.
68
It can represent a list of cipher suites containing a certain algorithm, or
69
cipher suites of a certain type. For example B<SHA1> represents all ciphers
70
suites using the digest algorithm SHA1 and B<SSLv3> represents all SSL v3
73
Lists of cipher suites can be combined in a single cipher string using the
74
B<+> character. This is used as a logical B<and> operation. For example
75
B<SHA1+DES> represents all cipher suites containing the SHA1 B<and> the DES
78
Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters B<!>,
81
If B<!> is used then the ciphers are permanently deleted from the list.
82
The ciphers deleted can never reappear in the list even if they are
85
If B<-> is used then the ciphers are deleted from the list, but some or
86
all of the ciphers can be added again by later options.
88
If B<+> is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This
89
option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones.
91
If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted
92
as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the
93
list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they
94
will not moved to the end of the list.
96
Additionally the cipher string B<@STRENGTH> can be used at any point to sort
97
the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length.
101
The following is a list of all permitted cipher strings and their meanings.
107
the default cipher list. This is determined at compile time and is normally
108
B<AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH>. This must be the first cipher string
111
=item B<COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT>
113
the ciphers included in B<ALL>, but not enabled by default. Currently
114
this is B<ADH>. Note that this rule does not cover B<eNULL>, which is
115
not included by B<ALL> (use B<COMPLEMENTOFALL> if necessary).
119
all ciphers suites except the B<eNULL> ciphers which must be explicitly enabled.
121
=item B<COMPLEMENTOFALL>
123
the cipher suites not enabled by B<ALL>, currently being B<eNULL>.
127
"high" encryption cipher suites. This currently means those with key lengths larger
128
than 128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit keys.
132
"medium" encryption cipher suites, currently some of those using 128 bit encryption.
136
"low" encryption cipher suites, currently those using 64 or 56 bit encryption algorithms
137
but excluding export cipher suites.
139
=item B<EXP>, B<EXPORT>
141
export encryption algorithms. Including 40 and 56 bits algorithms.
145
40 bit export encryption algorithms
149
56 bit export encryption algorithms. In OpenSSL 0.9.8c and later the set of
150
56 bit export ciphers is empty unless OpenSSL has been explicitly configured
151
with support for experimental ciphers.
153
=item B<eNULL>, B<NULL>
155
the "NULL" ciphers that is those offering no encryption. Because these offer no
156
encryption at all and are a security risk they are disabled unless explicitly
161
the cipher suites offering no authentication. This is currently the anonymous
162
DH algorithms. These cipher suites are vulnerable to a "man in the middle"
163
attack and so their use is normally discouraged.
165
=item B<kRSA>, B<RSA>
167
cipher suites using RSA key exchange.
171
cipher suites using ephemeral DH key agreement.
173
=item B<kDHr>, B<kDHd>
175
cipher suites using DH key agreement and DH certificates signed by CAs with RSA
176
and DSS keys respectively. Not implemented.
180
cipher suites using RSA authentication, i.e. the certificates carry RSA keys.
182
=item B<aDSS>, B<DSS>
184
cipher suites using DSS authentication, i.e. the certificates carry DSS keys.
188
cipher suites effectively using DH authentication, i.e. the certificates carry
189
DH keys. Not implemented.
191
=item B<kFZA>, B<aFZA>, B<eFZA>, B<FZA>
193
ciphers suites using FORTEZZA key exchange, authentication, encryption or all
194
FORTEZZA algorithms. Not implemented.
196
=item B<TLSv1>, B<SSLv3>, B<SSLv2>
198
TLS v1.0, SSL v3.0 or SSL v2.0 cipher suites respectively.
202
cipher suites using DH, including anonymous DH.
206
anonymous DH cipher suites.
210
cipher suites using AES.
214
cipher suites using Camellia.
218
cipher suites using triple DES.
222
cipher suites using DES (not triple DES).
226
cipher suites using RC4.
230
cipher suites using RC2.
234
cipher suites using IDEA.
238
cipher suites using SEED.
242
cipher suites using MD5.
244
=item B<SHA1>, B<SHA>
246
cipher suites using SHA1.
250
=head1 CIPHER SUITE NAMES
252
The following lists give the SSL or TLS cipher suites names from the
253
relevant specification and their OpenSSL equivalents. It should be noted,
254
that several cipher suite names do not include the authentication used,
255
e.g. DES-CBC3-SHA. In these cases, RSA authentication is used.

396
because there is no support for DH certificates.

Some compiled versions of OpenSSL may not include all the ciphers

listed here because some ciphers were excluded at compile time.
