Cipher suite verification

Cipher suite verification is the process of checking which specific cryptographic algorithms a server supports for securing network connections, typically during the [[TLS]] handshake.^[600-developer-tools-security-openssl.md]

Tools and Methods

The OpenSSL command-line tool is commonly used to check the cipher suites supported by a website server.^[600-developer-tools-security-openssl.md] This allows developers and system administrators to audit the security configuration of a server to ensure it supports strong encryption standards or to diagnose connection issues.^[600-developer-tools-security-openssl.md]
