Algorithms (ciphers)
Among the algorithms specified for an SSL session include those for:
*Symmetric cryptography — For encryption and decryption of bulk data sent between SSL client and server
*Message Authentication Code (MAC) — For message digest operations used to provide data integrity on either the client or server
Note: Some implementations also support data compression. However, OpenEdge does not provide data compression as part of its SSL support. The algorithm for asymmetric cryptography is defined when the private/public-key pair is initially created for a new SSL server identity.
