Decode Java CipherSuite

843811May 1 2009 — edited May 12 2009
How do I find out the meaning of Java CipherSuite? i.e.

SSL_DH_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
...

For OpenSSL, I can tell the meaning of the key combination.

i.e. SSLv2:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+EXP

I can use OpenSSL's "ciphers" option to get all the SSL negotiation for the above cipher suite. How do I do the same thing in Java. I don't see "Keytool" has the similar "ciphers" option in OpenSSL to get the report. Thanks.
