What is a Cipher Suite?

Today's term is cipher suite, a combination of algorithms that are used in cryptography to secure communication between servers and clients. A cipher suite includes a series of ciphers that fulfill various purposes, such as key generation, authorization, and integrity checksumming.

These ciphers ensure the confidentiality and authenticity of the information being transmitted by encrypting and decrypting it. The client and web server negotiate and agree on the specific cipher suite to be used for their communication.
