Yes, but that would be rather messy.

I was hoping for a simpler solution, so rather then letting users
choose the exact cipher suite names they could simply choose between
AES, 3DES, DES, RC4,  and they could also choose if they want MEDIUM
(128 bit) encryption, or HIGH (greater then 128 bit) encryption.

This method works great for everything except AES, which incorrectly
groups all the 128 bit ciphers as being HIGH instead of MEDIUM.

Is it  a known bug, or are the docs outdated?
