# Ciphers
With curl's options
2020-11-04 21:02:01 +08:00
[`CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST`](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST.html)
and
2020-11-04 21:02:01 +08:00
[`--ciphers`](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--ciphers)
users can control which ciphers to consider when negotiating TLS connections.
TLS 1.3 ciphers are supported since curl 7.61 for OpenSSL 1.1.1+, and since
curl 7.85 for Schannel with options
2020-11-04 21:02:01 +08:00
[`CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS`](https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS.html)
and
2020-11-04 21:02:01 +08:00
[`--tls13-ciphers`](https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#--tls13-ciphers)
. If you are using a different SSL backend you can try setting TLS 1.3 cipher
suites by using the respective regular cipher option.
The names of the known ciphers differ depending on which TLS backend that
libcurl was built to use. This is an attempt to list known cipher names.

(based on [OpenSSL docs](https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man1/openssl-ciphers.html))
When specifying multiple cipher names, separate them with colon (`:`).

Ciphers are internally defined as [numeric
codes](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_73/apis/gsk_attribute_set_buffer.htm). libcurl
maps them to the following case-insensitive names.

## Schannel
Schannel allows the enabling and disabling of encryption algorithms, but not
specific cipher suites. They are
[defined](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/desktop/SecCrypto/alg-id) by
Microsoft.
There is also the case that the selected algorithm is not supported by the
protocol or does not match the ciphers offered by the server during the SSL
negotiation. In this case curl will return error
`CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35) SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH`
and the request will fail.

As of curl 7.77.0, you can also pass `SCH_USE_STRONG_CRYPTO` as a cipher name
to [constrain the set of available ciphers as specified in the Schannel
documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthn/tls-cipher-suites-in-windows-server-2022).
Note that the supported ciphers in this case follow the OS version, so if you
are running an outdated OS you might still be supporting weak ciphers.
