.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "CIPHERS 1"
CIPHERS 1 "2015-01-08" "0.9.8zd" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
ciphers - SSL cipher display and cipher list tool.
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" \fBopenssl ciphers [-v] [-ssl2] [-ssl3] [-tls1] [cipherlist]
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The cipherlist command converts OpenSSL cipher lists into ordered \s-1SSL\s0 cipher preference lists. It can be used as a test tool to determine the appropriate cipherlist.
"COMMAND OPTIONS"
Header "COMMAND OPTIONS"
"-v" 4
Item "-v" verbose option. List ciphers with a complete description of protocol version (SSLv2 or SSLv3; the latter includes \s-1TLS\s0), key exchange, authentication, encryption and mac algorithms used along with any key size restrictions and whether the algorithm is classed as an \*(L"export\*(R" cipher. Note that without the -v option, ciphers may seem to appear twice in a cipher list; this is when similar ciphers are available for \s-1SSL\s0 v2 and for \s-1SSL\s0 v3/TLS v1.
"-ssl3" 4
Item "-ssl3" only include \s-1SSL\s0 v3 ciphers.
"-ssl2" 4
Item "-ssl2" only include \s-1SSL\s0 v2 ciphers.
"-tls1" 4
Item "-tls1" only include \s-1TLS\s0 v1 ciphers.
"-h, -?" 4
Item "-h, -?" print a brief usage message.
"cipherlist" 4
Item "cipherlist" a cipher list to convert to a cipher preference list. If it is not included then the default cipher list will be used. The format is described below.
"CIPHER LIST FORMAT"
Header "CIPHER LIST FORMAT" The cipher list consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons. Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used.

The actual cipher string can take several different forms.

It can consist of a single cipher suite such as \s-1RC4-SHA\s0.

It can represent a list of cipher suites containing a certain algorithm, or cipher suites of a certain type. For example \s-1SHA1\s0 represents all ciphers suites using the digest algorithm \s-1SHA1\s0 and SSLv3 represents all \s-1SSL\s0 v3 algorithms.

Lists of cipher suites can be combined in a single cipher string using the \fB+ character. This is used as a logical and operation. For example \fB\s-1SHA1+DES\s0 represents all cipher suites containing the \s-1SHA1 \s0and the \s-1DES\s0 algorithms.

Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters !, \fB- or +.

If ! is used then the ciphers are permanently deleted from the list. The ciphers deleted can never reappear in the list even if they are explicitly stated.

If - is used then the ciphers are deleted from the list, but some or all of the ciphers can be added again by later options.

If + is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones.

If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they will not moved to the end of the list.

Additionally the cipher string \f(CB@STRENGTH can be used at any point to sort the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length.

"CIPHER STRINGS"
Header "CIPHER STRINGS" The following is a list of all permitted cipher strings and their meanings.
"\s-1DEFAULT\s0" 4
Item "DEFAULT" the default cipher list. This is determined at compile time and is normally \fB\s-1AES:ALL:\s0!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH. This must be the first cipher string specified.
"\s-1COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT\s0" 4
Item "COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT" the ciphers included in \s-1ALL\s0, but not enabled by default. Currently this is \s-1ADH\s0. Note that this rule does not cover eNULL, which is not included by \s-1ALL\s0 (use \s-1COMPLEMENTOFALL\s0 if necessary).
"\s-1ALL\s0" 4
Item "ALL" all ciphers suites except the eNULL ciphers which must be explicitly enabled.
"\s-1COMPLEMENTOFALL\s0" 4
Item "COMPLEMENTOFALL" the cipher suites not enabled by \s-1ALL\s0, currently being eNULL.
"\s-1HIGH\s0" 4
Item "HIGH" \*(L"high\*(R" encryption cipher suites. This currently means those with key lengths larger than 128 bits, and some cipher suites with 128-bit keys.
"\s-1MEDIUM\s0" 4
Item "MEDIUM" \*(L"medium\*(R" encryption cipher suites, currently some of those using 128 bit encryption.
"\s-1LOW\s0" 4
Item "LOW" \*(L"low\*(R" encryption cipher suites, currently those using 64 or 56 bit encryption algorithms but excluding export cipher suites.
"\s-1EXP\s0, \s-1EXPORT\s0" 4
Item "EXP, EXPORT" export encryption algorithms. Including 40 and 56 bits algorithms.
"\s-1EXPORT40\s0" 4
Item "EXPORT40" 40 bit export encryption algorithms
"\s-1EXPORT56\s0" 4
Item "EXPORT56" 56 bit export encryption algorithms. In OpenSSL 0.9.8c and later the set of 56 bit export ciphers is empty unless OpenSSL has been explicitly configured with support for experimental ciphers.
"eNULL, \s-1NULL\s0" 4
Item "eNULL, NULL" the \*(L"\s-1NULL\*(R"\s0 ciphers that is those offering no encryption. Because these offer no encryption at all and are a security risk they are disabled unless explicitly included.
"aNULL" 4
Item "aNULL" the cipher suites offering no authentication. This is currently the anonymous \s-1DH\s0 algorithms. These cipher suites are vulnerable to a \*(L"man in the middle\*(R" attack and so their use is normally discouraged.
"kRSA, \s-1RSA\s0" 4
Item "kRSA, RSA" cipher suites using \s-1RSA\s0 key exchange.
"kEDH" 4
Item "kEDH" cipher suites using ephemeral \s-1DH\s0 key agreement.
"kDHr, kDHd" 4
Item "kDHr, kDHd" cipher suites using \s-1DH\s0 key agreement and \s-1DH\s0 certificates signed by CAs with \s-1RSA\s0 and \s-1DSS\s0 keys respectively. Not implemented.
"aRSA" 4
Item "aRSA" cipher suites using \s-1RSA\s0 authentication, i.e. the certificates carry \s-1RSA\s0 keys.
"aDSS, \s-1DSS\s0" 4
Item "aDSS, DSS" cipher suites using \s-1DSS\s0 authentication, i.e. the certificates carry \s-1DSS\s0 keys.
"aDH" 4
Item "aDH" cipher suites effectively using \s-1DH\s0 authentication, i.e. the certificates carry \s-1DH\s0 keys. Not implemented.
"kFZA, aFZA, eFZA, \s-1FZA\s0" 4
Item "kFZA, aFZA, eFZA, FZA" ciphers suites using \s-1FORTEZZA\s0 key exchange, authentication, encryption or all \s-1FORTEZZA\s0 algorithms. Not implemented.
"TLSv1, SSLv3, SSLv2" 4
Item "TLSv1, SSLv3, SSLv2" \s-1TLS\s0 v1.0, \s-1SSL\s0 v3.0 or \s-1SSL\s0 v2.0 cipher suites respectively.
"\s-1DH\s0" 4
Item "DH" cipher suites using \s-1DH,\s0 including anonymous \s-1DH.\s0
"\s-1ADH\s0" 4
Item "ADH" anonymous \s-1DH\s0 cipher suites.

Item "MD5" cipher suites using \s-1MD5.\s0
"\s-1SHA1\s0, \s-1SHA\s0" 4
Item "SHA1, SHA" cipher suites using \s-1SHA1.\s0
"CIPHER SUITE NAMES"
Header "CIPHER SUITE NAMES" The following lists give the \s-1SSL\s0 or \s-1TLS\s0 cipher suites names from the relevant specification and their OpenSSL equivalents. It should be noted, that several cipher suite names do not include the authentication used, e.g. \s-1DES-CBC3-SHA.\s0 In these cases, \s-1RSA\s0 authentication is used.
