Weakened-Encryption-Protocol/EN/Background

The term cipher suite stands for a collection of cryptographic methods. This collection contains the key exchange method, the signature method, the encryption, and cryptographic hash functions. This combination of cryptographic components ensures that there is a secure connection for the communication between two parties, for example your browser and a web server or website. In the TLS protocol (Transport Layer Security), the cipher suite determines which algorithms are used to establish a secure data connection, and it ensures that the connection is secure.
