In Citrix ADC, which component governs the cryptographic algorithms used for SSL connections?

• A. TCP profile
• B. SSL cipher suite configuration
• C. Virtual IP
• D. Certificate authority

Answer: (B)

The SSL cipher suite configuration governs the cryptographic algorithms used for SSL connections. During the TLS handshake, the client and server negotiate a cipher suite from the configured list, and that suite specifies the encryption algorithm, the key-exchange method, and the MAC/AEAD mechanism to use. By choosing which cipher suites are allowed and in what order, you control exactly which algorithms may be negotiated, affecting security and performance. The TCP profile affects transport settings, the virtual IP is just the front-end address, and the certificate authority handles issuing and validating certificates, not the cipher algorithms.
