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.
Notes: 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.
