Supported cipher suites
During an SSL handshake, the client and server negotiate which cipher suite to use to exchange data. A cipher suite is a set of algorithms that are used to provide authentication, encryption, and data integrity.

IBM® Global Security Kit (GSKit) in FIPS mode
to provide SSL support. GSKit supports the following
cipher suites:
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
- TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
The name of each cipher suite specifies the algorithms that it uses for authentication, encryption, and data integrity checking. For example, the cipher suite TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA uses RSA for authentication; AES 256-bit and CBC for encryption algorithms; and SHA-1 for the hash function for data integrity.
You cannot prioritize which cipher suite is selected.
