title: What is SSL security policy for ELB

  <p>AWS ELB lets me select or create a custom "security policy" for SSL. I can set the "Server Order Preference" and ciphers. I want to understand what part of this is AWS specific and which part I would see on <em>any</em> load balancer Im configuring with SSL. I've worked with other load balancers and have never had to set SSL Security Policies like this.</p>
