A cipher suite specifies one algorithm for each of the following tasks: * Key exchange * Bulk encryption * Message authentication So you may see something like: PSK-AES-SHA256 Key exchange algorithms Key exchange algorithms protect information required to create shared keys. These algorithms are asymmetric (public key algorithms) and perform well for relatively
