The last section of the SSL check shows a list of the cipher suites supported by your server configuration. Each row represents one cipher suite. A cipher suite is a combination of standard encryption algorithms that are used to protect the exchange of data. For the SSL protocol (and its successor TLS) a specific algorithm in the cipher suite is defined for each task: key exchange / authentication, hash function (a sort of fingerprint of the data that is to be exchanged) and encryption. Example of a cipher suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0x0035). TLS describes the encryption protocol and the key exchange occurs via the standard RSA algorithm. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with 256 Bit in the CBC mode (Cipher Block Chain) is used for the encryption, while the hash function works with SHA. The bracket indicates the byte sequence.
