Cipher Suites

A WebSphere SSL cipher suite is a set of cryptographic algorithms used to secure communication between clients and servers. It defines how encryption, authentication, and message integrity are handled during SSL/TLS handshakes. WebSphere allows administrators to configure cipher suites to enforce security policies, ensuring data is encrypted and protected against vulnerabilities. By selecting appropriate cipher suites, users can optimize security while maintaining compatibility with client applications.
