I'm a little confused about which cipher suites are supported by which SSL/TLS 
protocol versions.

I'm using Appendix C of the TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 RFCs, respectively, as a 
starting point for which cipher suites are supported in which version of the 
protocol, but I'm not sure how to parse the fact that some cipher suites are 
missing between documents.  For example, the "export" cipher suites do not 
appear in Appendix C of the TLS 1.1 RFC.  Does that mean that they are not 
available for use in TLS 1.1?  Or does each revision of TLS implicitly support 
the list of cipher suites from the prior versions and then simply add new ones?

On a related note, I assume the cipher suites defined in their own RFCs (AES in 
RFC3268, Cameillia in RFC4132, etc.) for TLS 1.0 are also supported in TLS 1.1 
and 1.2?

It's very possible all of this is spelled out somewhere that I haven't come 
across yet.

What does is mean when "openssl cipers -tls -v" shows "SSLv3"?  I assume that 
means that the specific cipher suite is supporte in SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 
and TLS 1.2?  The cipher suites that are exclusive to TLS 1.2 are marked by 
"TLSv1.2"?

Thanks.
