TLS cipher suites

A cipher suite defines a set of technologies to secure your TLS communications:

• Key exchange algorithm (how the secret key used to encrypt the data is communicated from the client to the server). Examples: RSA key or Diffie-Hellman (DH)
• Authentication method (how hosts can authenticate the identity of remote hosts). Examples: RSA certificate, DSS certificate, or no authentication
• Encryption cipher (how to encrypt data). Examples: AES (256 or 128 bits)
• Hash algorithm (ensuring data by providing a way to determine if data has been modified). Examples: SHA-2 or SHA-1

The supported cipher suites combine all these items.

The following list gives the OpenSSL names of the TLS cipher suites for the storage system and the associated ports.
