!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is generally an [OpenSSL] [Cipher Suite] setting that enables [suite B] mode operation using 128 (NOT permitting [SUITEB192]) 128-bit level of security. 


%%information
There is no ongoing [Standards] definition for [{$pagename}] but is is  general "short-cut" used within [OpenSSL] and others for setting a group [Cipher Suite] settings.

%%warning
[RFC 8423] titled: Reclassification of Suite B Documents to [Historic] Status
%%


If used these cipherstrings should appear first in the cipher list and anything after them is ignored. 

Setting [Suite B] mode has additional consequences required to comply with [RFC 6460]. In particular the supported [Digital Signature] [algorithms] is reduced to support only [ECDSA] and [SHA256] or [SHA384], only the [Elliptic Curve] [P-256] and [P-384] can be used and only the two [suite B] compliant [Cipher Suites] ([ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256] and [ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384]) are permissible.
