I believe what you are looking for may be found in the Windows registry, as outlined in MS article Q241447, "How to Restrict the Use of Certain Ciphers in Internet Information Services 5.0". These registry keys indicate which SSL and TSL encryption ciphers are enabled on your server. Per the article: ============================= HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/SecurityProviders/SCHANN EL/Ciphers Under this key, all the ciphers currently used by Schannel for secure communications are listed. Select the one you want to disable and expand the key. You should see a DWORD value under the key called "Enabled." Depending on the cipher you have selected, this value will either be set to "ffffffff" or "000000f0" ("ffffffff" means enabled, "000000f0" means disabled). ============================= Tod Michaels -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Boucher [mailto:pboucher () gardienvirtuel com] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 12:21 PM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Encryption Level of web site Greetings, I would like to know what are the permited (and deny) encryption Level on a Web Site. Nessus tell me that my target host accept 40 bit, 56 bits and 128 bits encryptions.. I would like to know how that information was obtained? How can i get that information?(Without using Nessus) In Linux and Windows ?
