Create TLS Cryptography Suite Set elements

TLS Cryptography Suite Set elements define which cryptographic algorithms are allowed for encrypting TLS traffic.

The default NIST (SP 800-52) Compatible SSL Cryptographic Algorithms element allows SSL cryptographic algorithms that are compatible with the following standard: NIST SP 800-52 Rev. 1 Guidelines for the Selection, Configuration, and Use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) Implementations. If the default cryptographic algorithms meet your needs, there is no need to create a custom TLS Cryptography Suite Set element.

Steps

Select Configuration, then browse to Administration.
Browse to Certificates > Other Elements > TLS Cryptography Suite Sets.
Right-click TLS Cryptography Suite Sets, then select New TLS Cryptography Suite Set.
In the Name field, enter a unique name.
Select one or more cryptographic algorithms.
- Algorithms in the Common section are compatible with SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2.
- Algorithms in the TLS 1.2 Only section are only compatible with TLS 1.2.
Click OK.

TLS Cryptography Suite Set Properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to view the properties of the default TLS Cryptography Suite Set element. Advanced users can create custom TLS Cryptography Suite Set elements if they have a specific reason to do so.

Option	Definition
Name	Specifies the name of the element.
Comment	Adds a comment to the element.
Common	Select one or more SSL cryptographic algorithms. Note: SSL cryptographic algorithms in the Common section are compatible with SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2.
