12
14 Pass a char *, pointing to a null-terminated string holding the list of
15 ciphers to use for the SSL connection. The list must be syntactically
16 correct, it consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons.
17 Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally
18 used, !, - and + can be used as operators.
19
20 For OpenSSL and GnuTLS valid examples of cipher lists include RC4-SHA,
21 SHA1+DES, TLSv1 and DEFAULT. The default list is normally set when you
22 compile OpenSSL.
23
24 For NSS, valid examples of cipher lists include rsa_rc4_128_md5,
25 rsa_aes_128_sha, etc. With NSS you do not add/remove ciphers. If one
26 uses this option then all known ciphers are disabled and only those
27 passed in are enabled.
28
29 For WolfSSL, valid examples of cipher lists include ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA,
30 AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA256, etc.
31
32 For BearSSL, valid examples of cipher lists include ECDHE-RSA-
33 CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, or when using IANA names
34 TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
35 etc. With BearSSL you do not add/remove ciphers. If one uses this op‐
36 tion then all known ciphers are disabled and only those passed in are
37 enabled.
