===About Cipher Suites===
A cipher suite is a defined set of algorithms used to secure network connections between two end points (e.g.: user client and server). In the TLS handshake, cipher suites are presented by both the client and server as a means to agree on a communications scheme, and determine a common code to use. TLS 1.2 cipher suites include an initial key exchange algorithm, a bulk/message encryption algorithm, and a message authentication code, as in the example below:
