24 SSL_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs for ssl,
25 sorted by preference. If ssl is NULL or no ciphers are available, NULL
26 is returned.
27 SSL_CTX_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs for
29 ctx.
30 SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() returns the stack of enabled SSL_CIPHERs
32 for ssl as would be sent in a ClientHello (that is, sorted by
33 preference). The list depends on settings like the cipher list, the
34 supported protocol versions, the security level, and the enabled
35 signature algorithms. SRP and PSK ciphers are only enabled if the
36 appropriate callbacks or settings have been applied. The list of
37 ciphers that would be sent in a ClientHello can differ from the list of
38 ciphers that would be acceptable when acting as a server. For example,
39 additional ciphers may be usable by a server if there is a gap in the
40 list of supported protocols, and some ciphers may not be usable by a
41 server if there is not a suitable certificate configured. If ssl is
42 NULL or no ciphers are available, NULL is returned.
43 SSL_get_client_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs
45 matching the list received from the client on ssl. If ssl is NULL, no
46 ciphers are available, or ssl is not operating in server mode, NULL is
47 returned.
48 SSL_bytes_to_cipher_list() treats the supplied len octets in bytes as a
50 wire-protocol cipher suite specification (in the three-octet-per-cipher
51 SSLv2 wire format if isv2format is nonzero; otherwise the two-octet
52 SSLv3/TLS wire format), and parses the cipher suites supported by the
53 library into the returned stacks of SSL_CIPHER objects sk and
54 Signalling Cipher-Suite Values scsvs. Unsupported cipher suites are
55 ignored. Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
56 SSL_get_cipher_list() returns a pointer to the name of the SSL_CIPHER
58 listed for ssl with priority. If ssl is NULL, no ciphers are available,
59 or there are less ciphers than priority available, NULL is returned.
60 SSL_get_shared_ciphers() creates a colon separated and NUL terminated
62 list of SSL_CIPHER names that are available in both the client and the
63 server. buf is the buffer that should be populated with the list of
64 names and size is the size of that buffer. A pointer to buf is returned
65 on success or NULL on error. If the supplied buffer is not large enough
66 to contain the complete list of names then a truncated list of names
67 will be returned. Note that just because a ciphersuite is available
68 (i.e. it is configured in the cipher list) and shared by both the
69 client and the server it does not mean that it is enabled (see the
70 description of SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() above). This function will
71 return available shared ciphersuites whether or not they are enabled.
72 This is a server side function only and must only be called after the
73 completion of the initial handshake.
74
76 The details of the ciphers obtained by SSL_get_ciphers(),
77 SSL_CTX_get_ciphers() SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() and
78 SSL_get_client_ciphers() can be obtained using the
79 SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) family of functions.
80 Call SSL_get_cipher_list() with priority starting from 0 to obtain the
82 sorted list of available ciphers, until NULL is returned.
83 Note: SSL_get_ciphers(), SSL_CTX_get_ciphers() and
85 SSL_get_client_ciphers() return a pointer to an internal cipher stack,
86 which will be freed later on when the SSL or SSL_SESSION object is
87 freed. Therefore, the calling code MUST NOT free the return value
88 itself.
89 The stack returned by SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() should be freed
91 using sk_SSL_CIPHER_free().
92 The stacks returned by SSL_bytes_to_cipher_list() should be freed using
94 sk_SSL_CIPHER_free().
