I would like to compare pairs (A;B) of TLS cipher suites with the result that either A or B is more secure.
I know that it's sometimes hard to tell, because for instance A has a better key algorithm than B, but B's hashing algorithm is more secure. I know that OpenSSL is capable of showing a sorted list (openssl ciphers -v 'ALL:@STRENGTH'
). The output format however is wrong for me and the translation between the two formats seems infeasible:
Here are some examples:
The Format I need OpenSSL Format
--------------------------------- ---------------------
SSL_RSA_WITH_IDEA_CBC_SHA IDEA-CBC-SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA DHE-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA
TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA AES256-SHA
(This question is related to my other question on stackoverflow.)
