With reference to the recent custom SSL provision for Azure website on the reserved instance - how can I enforce 256-bit encryption? All I see is the 128 bit using RC4_128. I want to ensure users connect using 256 bit encryption using AES_256.

256-bit encryption is a data/file encryption technique that uses a 256-bit key to encrypt and decrypt data or files. It is one of the most secure encryption methods after 128- and 192-bit encryption, and is used in most modern encryption algorithms, protocols and technologies including AES and SSL.
Azure Storage Service Encryption Storage Service Encryption uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, which is one of the strongest block ciphers available. AES handles encryption, decryption, and key management transparently.
A Secure 256-bit SSL encryption is a method to encrypt and decrypt data transferred between the user's browser and the website server with 256-bit long encryption key. Considered to be most secure technique till date, it is used in SSL and AES alike.
- Free SSL certificate is available in Azure provided by DigiCert. But wildcard is not supported. You may need to use CNAME etc.
HTTPS will always negotiate the highest protocol version that is supported by both the client and server in an encrypted conversation. SSL 2.0, 3.0, TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are deprecated, so the way to go is use TLS 1.2.
