<p>This section describes how to use the Edit Ciphers dialog box. If you&apos;re not
already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>
<span class="noMac">Edit</span> menu and choose Preferences.</li>
<li>Under the Privacy &amp; Security category, click SSL. (If no
subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy &amp; Security to expand
the list.)</li>
<li>Click the Edit Ciphers button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The Edit Ciphers dialog box allows you to select or deselect ciphers, or

<p>Each checkbox corresponds to a cipher suite, or set of cryptographic
algorithms. To view information about a cipher suite, click the
Details button besides its name.</p>
<p>The following information is displayed for the selected cipher suite:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cypher:</strong> Encryption module name.</li>
<li><strong>Encryption algorithm:</strong> Used for bulk encryption and
decryption.</li>
<li><strong>Authentication Algorithm:</strong> Used to determine the server
or client&apos;s identity.</li>
<li><strong>Effective Key Algorithm:</strong> Governs the way in which the
server and client determine the symmetric keys they will both use during an
SSL session.</li>
<li><strong>Key Size:</strong> The size of the keys used with this cipher
suite. (Encryption strength depends on both encryption algorithm and key
size.)</li>
<li><strong>MAC Algorithm:</strong> Used for tamper detection and data
verification; sometimes called message digest or hash algorithm.</li>
<li><strong>Other Attributes:</strong> These can include the following:
<ul>
<li><strong>FIPS</strong> Complies with Federal Information Processing
Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) 140-1. Many products sold to the US
government must comply with one or more FIPS standards.</li>
<li><strong>IsExportable</strong> Cipher suite was legally exportable
under regulations published by the U.S. Department of Commerce that
previously limited the encryption strength of exported products. Those
regulations have since been loosened.</li>
