# Ciphers
With curl's options `CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` and `--ciphers` users can
control which ciphers to consider when negotiating TLS connections.
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

When specifying multiple cipher names, separate them with colon (`:`).
