+=head1 NAME
+
+ciphers - SSL cipher display and cipher list tool.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<openssl> B<ciphers>
+[B<-v>]
+[B<-ssl2>]
+[B<-ssl3>]
+[B<-tls1>]
+[B<cipherlist>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<cipherlist> command converts OpenSSL cipher lists into ordered
+SSL cipher preference lists. It can be used as a test tool to determine
+the appropriate cipherlist.
+
+=head1 COMMAND OPTIONS
+

+=item B<-v>
+
+verbose option. List ciphers with a complete decsription of the authentication,
+key exchange, encryption and mac algorithms used along with any key size
+restrictions and whether the algorithm is classed as an "export" cipher.
+

+
+=item B<-tls1>
+

+
+=item B<-h>, B<-?>
+
+print a brief usage message.
+
+=item B<cipherlist>
+
+a cipher list to convert to a cipher preference list. If it is not included
+then the default cipher list will be used. The format is described below.
+
+=head1 CIPHER LIST FORMAT
+
+The cipher list consists of one or more I<cipher strings> separated by colons.
+Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used.
+
+The actual cipher string can take several different forms.
+
+It can consist of a single cipher suite such as B<RC4-SHA>.
+
+It can represent a list of cipher suites containing a certain algorithm, or
+cipher suites of a certain type. For example B<SHA1> represents all ciphers
+suites using the digest algorithm SHA1 and B<SSLv3> represents all SSL v3
+algorithms.
+
+Lists of cipher suites can be combined in a single cipher string using the
+B<+> character. This is used as a logical B<and> operation. For example
+B<SHA1+DES> represents all cipher suites containing the SHA1 B<and> the DES
+algorithms.
+
+Each cipher string can be optionally preceded by the characters B<!>,
+B<-> or B<+>.
+
+If B<!> is used then the ciphers are permanently deleted from the list.
+The ciphers deleted can never reappear in the list even if they are
+explicitly stated.
+
+If B<-> is used then the ciphers are deleted from the list, but some or
+all of the ciphers can be added again by later options.
+
+If B<+> is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This
+option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones.
+
+If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted
+as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the
+list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they
+will not moved to the end of the list.
+
+Additionally the cipher string B<@STRENGTH> can be used at any point to sort
+the current cipher list in order of encryption algorithm key length.
+
+=head1 CIPHER STRINGS
+
+The following is a list of all permitted cipher strings and their meanings.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<DEFAULT>
+
+the default cipher list. This is determined at compile time and is normally
+B<TBA>. This must be the first cipher string specified.
+
+=item B<ALL>
+
+all ciphers suites except the B<eNULL> ciphers which must be explicitly enabled.
+
+=item B<HIGH>
+
+"high" encryption cipher suites. This currently means those with key lengths larger
+than 128 bits.
+
+=item B<MEDIUM>
+
+"medium" encryption cipher suites, currently those using 128 bit encryption.
+
+=item B<LOW>
+
+"low" encryption cipher suites, currently those using 64 or 56 bit encryption algorithms
+but excluding export cipher suites.
+
+=item B<EXP>, B<EXPORT>
+
+export encryption algorithms. Including 40 and 56 bits algorithms.
+
+=item B<EXPORT40>
+
+40 bit export encryption algorithms
+
+=item B<EXPORT56>
+
+56 bit export encryption algorithms.
+
+=item B<eNULL>, B<NULL>
+
+the "NULL" ciphers that is those offering no encryption. Because these offer no
+encryption at all and are a security risk they are disabled unless explicitly
+included.
+
+=item B<aNULL>
+
+the cipher suites offering no authentication. This is currently the anonymous
+DH algorithms. These cipher suites are vulnerable to a "man in the middle"
+attack and so there use is normally discouraged.
+
+=item B<kRSA>, B<RSA>
+
+cipher suites using RSA key exchange.
+
+=item B<kEDH>
+
+cipher suites using ephemeral DH key agreement.
+
+=item B<kDHr>, B<kDHd>
+
+cipher suites using DH key agreement and DH certificates signed by CAs with RSA
+and DSS keys respectively. Not implemented.
+
+=item B<aRSA>
+
+cipher suites using RSA authentication, i.e. the certificates carry RSA keys.
+
+=item B<aDSS>, B<DSS>
+
+cipher suites using DSS authentication, i.e. the certificates carry DSS keys.
+
+=item B<aDH>
+
+cipher suites effectively using DH authentication, i.e. the certificates carry
+DH keys. Not implemented.
+
+=item B<kFZA>, B<aFZA>, B<eFZA>, B<FZA>
+
+ciphers suites using FORTEZZA key exchange, authentication, encryption or all
+FORTEZZA algorithms. Not implemented.
+
+=item B<TLSv1>, B<SSLv3>, B<SSLv2>
+
+TLS v1.0, SSL v3.0 or SSL v2.0 cipher suites respectively.
+

+
+cipher suites using DH, including anonymous DH.

+
+anoymous DH cipher suites.

+=item B<3DES>
+
+cipher suites using triple DES.

+=head1 NOTES
+
+The non ephemeral DH modes are currently unimplimented in OpenSSL
+because there is no support for DH certificates.
+
+Some compiled versions of OpenSSL may not include all the ciphers
+listed here because some ciphers were excluded at compile time.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Verbose listing of all OpenSSL ciphers including NULL ciphers:
+
+ openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:eNULL'
+
+Include all ciphers except NULL and anonymous DH then sort by
+strength:
+
+ openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:!ADH:@STRENGTH'
+
+Include only 3DES ciphers and then place RSA ciphers last:
+
+ openssl ciphers -v '3DES:+RSA'
