TLS Cipher Checker
Look up any TLS cipher suite name — TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA — and get its strength rating from Strong to Insecure, with the reason in plain words. Code never leaves your device — formatting and validation run locally in your browser.
How to Use the TLS Cipher Checker
Similar Tools You Might Need
See allSSL/TLS Checker
Check a host over HTTPS from your browser — SSL/TLS reachability (which proves the browser validated the certificate chain) plus public issuance history (issuer, expiry, cert count) via crt.sh. No cipher-suite or protocol-version scan: browsers do not expose handshakes.
WHOIS Lookup
Look up domain registration information using public RDAP APIs. Check registrar, expiration date, name servers, and more.
Memorable Password Generator
Generate strong yet memorable passwords — word-based passphrases with real entropy. Get correct-horse grade security you can type — local crypto, free, no signup.
Text ↔ Binary Converter
Convert between plain text and binary in both directions — encode text into its base-2 representation or decode binary strings back to readable text, byte by byte. Files are converted locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Voter ID Form Helper
Get document checklists and step-by-step guidance for Indian voter registration forms — Form 6 (new enrollment), Form 7 (objection/deletion of a voter name), and Form 8 (correction, shifting, or replacement EPIC).
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ciphers rate Strong?
TLS 1.3 suites (AES-GCM, ChaCha20) and ECDHE suites with 256-bit keys and AEAD. Perfect forward secrecy plus modern AEAD is the bar — anything without PFS caps at Moderate.
Why is CBC marked Weak?
CBC-mode suites in TLS 1.2 and below fall to padding-oracle attacks (Lucky 13 family). The mode, not just the key length, decides the rating.
Does this scan my server?
No — this is a name lookup against a reference table, fully local. To test a live host, use the SSL/TLS Checker with its hostname instead.
What if my cipher is not listed?
Unknown names return an explicit Unknown verdict with a pointer to the IANA TLS registry — never a guessed rating. Proprietary or brand-new suites land here first.
