I'm not sure that answers the question as to significance as opposed to defining the acronyms.
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA is a cipher suite defined for use with TLS that uses 128-bit AES in CBC mode for the data encryption and SHA-1 for message authentication. The encryption keys are generated using Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman, signed using RSA (since DH is subject to MitM attacks). ....................................
