US Patent 11063758 Methods for facilitating cipher selection and devices thereof

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and network traffic management apparatuses that obtain one or more custom selection rules and one or more custom priority rules via a graphical user interface (GUI). One or more of the custom selection rules are applied to a cipher suite database to generate a result set of cipher suites. The cipher suite database includes a plurality of cipher suite sets. One or more of the custom priority rules are applied to the result set of cipher suites to generate an ordered result set of cipher suites. A cipher string is generated based on the ordered result set of cipher suites. The cipher string is stored in a secure socket layer (SSL) profile to be used during negotiation of secure network sessions.
