Cipher Suite

Cipher suites determine the encryption algorithms used for TLS connections.

Why It Matters

Weak ciphers can be broken by attackers. Strong cipher suites with forward secrecy protect current and past communications even if keys are later compromised.

How We Check

We analyze supported cipher suites, checking for weak algorithms (RC4, 3DES, export ciphers) and verifying forward secrecy support.

How to Fix

Configure your server to prefer strong cipher suites with ECDHE key exchange. Disable RC4, 3DES, and export ciphers. Use Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator.
