A little googling will get you what you want. A cipher is a security algorithm (des, rc, etc.). Ciphertext is cleartext (plaintext) which has been encrypted using an algorithm (cipher) and a key.
You can use ssl handshaking to see supported ciphers and java jsse has methods for dumping this information out. Get list of providers and start calling dump routines. mike > Anandi Vyagrapuri wrote: > >> Hi, >> Can naybody tell me what ciphers are and what i >> ciphers i must use with SSL ? >> >> Thanks >> Anandi >> >> __________________________________________________ >> Do You Yahoo!? >> Tired of spam?
