Find the algorithm of SSL Symmetric Encryption - ssl

Question

Is there a way we could find what is the algorithm used to encrypt HTTPS requests between server and client after SSL handshake. looking at the network calls, server certificate or browser settings etc.

Answer 1

Using java you can try this.
private void printSSLDetails(){
String https_url = "https://www.google.com/";
URL url;
try {
url = new URL(https_url);
HttpsURLConnection con = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
//dumpl all cert info
if(con!=null){
try {
System.out.println("Response Code : " + con.getResponseCode());
System.out.println("Cipher Suite : " + con.getCipherSuite());
System.out.println("\n");
Certificate[] certs = con.getServerCertificates();
for(Certificate cert : certs){
System.out.println("Cert Type : " + cert.getType());
System.out.println("Cert Hash Code : " + cert.hashCode());
System.out.println("Cert Public Key Algorithm : "
+ cert.getPublicKey().getAlgorithm());
System.out.println("Cert Public Key Format : "
+ cert.getPublicKey().getFormat());
System.out.println("\n");
}
} catch (SSLPeerUnverifiedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
