Serial Port Profiles

Adding/Editing a Cipher Suite

To see a list of valid cipher suite combinations, see Appendix B, SSL/TLS Ciphers on page 347.

Configure the following parameters:

Encryption

Select the type of encryption that will be used for the SSL connection.

 

Data Options:

 

z Any—Will use the first encryption format that can be negotiated.

 

z

AES

 

z

3DES

 

z

DES

 

z

ARCFOUR

 

z

ARCTWO

 

Default: Any

Min Key Size

The minimum key size value that will be used for the specified encryption

 

type.

 

Data Options: 40, 56, 64, 128, 168, 256

 

Default: 40

Max Key Size

The maximum key size value that will be used for the specified encryption

 

type.

 

Data Options: 40, 56, 64, 128, 168, 256

 

Default: 256

Key Exchange

The type of key to exchange for the encryption format.

 

Data Options:

z Any—Any key exchange that is valid is used (this does not, however, include ADH keys).

z RSA—This is an RSA key exchange using an RSA key and certificate.

z EDH-RSA—This is an EDH key exchange using an RSA key and certificate.

z EDH-DSS—This is an EDH key exchange using a DSA key and certificate.

z ADH—This is an anonymous key exchange which does not require a private key or certificate. Choose this key if you do not want to authenticate the peer device, but you want the data encrypted on the SSL/TLS connection.

Default: Any
