Hello there, could someone please point me to references or a page discussing cypher strengths and listing them in increasing order, in an email specific context? For example, I'm seeing emails transfers which seem to be using: - AES256-SHA - RC4-MD5 - DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA - ADH-AES256-SHA - EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA etc. I know of the page: http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html which lists cypher suites, but are these listed in order of increasing strength? Warm regards, -- Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond, PhD http://www.gih.com/ocl.html
