Ciphers
With curl's options
CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST
and
--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
CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS
and
--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.
OpenSSL
(based on OpenSSL docs)
When specifying multiple cipher names, separate them with colon (:
).

Schannel
Schannel allows the enabling and disabling of encryption algorithms, but not specific cipher suites, prior to TLS 1.3. The algorithms are defined by Microsoft.
The algorithms below are for TLS 1.2 and earlier. TLS 1.3 is covered in the next section.
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 returns error
CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR (35) SEC_E_ALGORITHM_MISMATCH
and the request fails.

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.
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are running an outdated OS you might still be supporting weak ciphers.
TLS 1.3 cipher suites
You can set TLS 1.3 ciphers for Schannel by using CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS
or
--tls13-ciphers
with the names below.
If TLS 1.3 cipher suites are set then libcurl adds or restricts Schannel TLS 1.3 algorithms automatically. Essentially, libcurl is emulating support for individual TLS 1.3 cipher suites since Schannel does not support it directly.
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_CCM_8_SHA256
TLS_AES_128_CCM_SHA256
Note if you set TLS 1.3 ciphers without also setting the minimum TLS version
to 1.3 then it is possible Schannel may negotiate an earlier TLS version and
cipher suite if your libcurl and OS settings allow it. You can set the minimum
TLS version by using CURLOPT_SSLVERSION
or --tlsv1.3
.
BearSSL
BearSSL ciphers can be specified by either the OpenSSL name (ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
) or the IANA name (TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
).
