Question about TLS v1.2 CyphersCiphers on my Web Server

I need some help to understand the CyphersCiphers being used by my web server running TLS v1.2.

What I understand is that my web server is configured to use only the listed methods of encryption. I suspect that it is telling the clients that it uses TLs v1.2, but my questions are:

a) How is DHE, ECDHE being used with RSA? b) How is CBC, GCM being used with SHA? c) Which one is the better one to use? d) Should I used ECDSA instead of ECDHE?

Thank you in advanced.

  • How is DHE, ECDHE being used with RSA?
  • How is CBC, GCM being used with SHA?
  • Which one is the better one to use?
  • Should I used ECDSA instead of ECDHE?
