Cipher Suites in TLS/SSL (Schannel SSP)

  • Straipsnis

A cipher suite is a set of cryptographic algorithms. The schannel SSP implementation of the TLS/SSL protocols use algorithms from a cipher suite to create keys and encrypt information. A cipher suite specifies one algorithm for each of the following tasks:

  • Key exchange
  • Bulk encryption
  • Message authentication

Key exchange algorithms protect information required to create shared keys. These algorithms are asymmetric (public key algorithms) and perform well for relatively small amounts of data.

Bulk encryption algorithms encrypt messages exchanged between clients and servers. These algorithms are symmetric and perform well for large amounts of data.

Message authentication algorithms generate message hashes and signatures that ensure the integrity of a message.

Developers specify these elements by using ALG_ID data types. For more information, see Specifying Schannel Ciphers and Cipher Strengths.

In earlier versions of Windows, TLS cipher suites and elliptical curves were configured by using a single string:

Different Windows versions support different TLS cipher suites and priority order. See the corresponding Windows version for the default order in which they are chosen by the Microsoft Schannel Provider.

Note

Prior to Windows 10, cipher suite strings were appended with the elliptic curve to determine the curve priority. Windows 10 supports an elliptic curve priority order setting so the elliptic curve suffix is not required and is overridden by the new elliptic curve priority order, when provided, to allow organizations to use group policy to configure different versions of Windows with the same cipher suites.
