The B<ciphers> command converts textual OpenSSL cipher lists into ordered
20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
SSL cipher preference lists. It can be used as a test tool to determine
the appropriate cipherlist.

Note that without the B<-v> option, ciphers may seem to appear twice
in a cipher list; this is when similar ciphers are available for
SSL v2 and for SSL v3/TLS v1.

=head1 CIPHER LIST FORMAT

The cipher list consists of one or more I<cipher strings> separated by colons.
Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used.

The actual cipher string can take several different forms.

It can consist of a single cipher suite such as B<RC4-SHA>.

It can represent a list of cipher suites containing a certain algorithm, or
cipher suites of a certain type. For example B<SHA1> represents all ciphers
suites using the digest algorithm SHA1 and B<SSLv3> represents all SSL v3
algorithms.

Lists of cipher suites can be combined in a single cipher string using the
B<+> character. This is used as a logical B<and> operation. For example
B<SHA1+DES> represents all cipher suites containing the SHA1 B<and> the DES
algorithms.

Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters B<!>,
B<-> or B<+>.

If B<!> is used then the ciphers are permanently deleted from the list.
The ciphers deleted can never reappear in the list even if they are
explicitly stated.

If B<-> is used then the ciphers are deleted from the list, but some or
all of the ciphers can be added again by later options.

If B<+> is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This
option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones.

If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted
as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the
list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they
will not moved to the end of the list.

Additionally the cipher string B<@STRENGTH> can be used at any point to sort
the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length.

=head1 NOTES

U
Ulf Möller 已提交
438
The non-ephemeral DH modes are currently unimplemented in OpenSSL
439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458
because there is no support for DH certificates.

Some compiled versions of OpenSSL may not include all the ciphers
listed here because some ciphers were excluded at compile time.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Verbose listing of all OpenSSL ciphers including NULL ciphers:

 openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:eNULL'

Include all ciphers except NULL and anonymous DH then sort by
strength:

 openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:!ADH:@STRENGTH'

Include only 3DES ciphers and then place RSA ciphers last:

 openssl ciphers -v '3DES:+RSA'

459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466 467
Include all RC4 ciphers but leave out those without authentication:

 openssl ciphers -v 'RC4:!COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT'

Include all chiphers with RSA authentication but leave out ciphers without
encryption.
