# Policy CSP - ADMX_CipherSuiteOrder

> [!TIP]
> This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as &lt;Format&gt;chr&lt;/Format&gt;. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
>
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it.  For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

This policy setting determines the cipher suites used by the Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

- If you enable this policy setting, SSL cipher suites are prioritized in the order specified.

- If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, default cipher suite order is used.

This policy setting determines the priority order of ECC curves used with ECDHE cipher suites.

- If you enable this policy setting, ECC curves are prioritized in the order specified.(Enter one Curve name per line)

- If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default ECC curve order is used.

Default Curve Order
 
curve25519
NistP256
NistP384

To See all the curves supported on the system, Use the following command:

CertUtil.exe -DisplayEccCurve
