In the case of Qt both of those would work - the API we provide looks like
this: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsslcipher.html
The basic idea is to provide the information to people using the API so
that they can use it when describing the cipher to users. To be honest, I'm
not sure how much of this users will actually understand in practice, but
that's a different problem.
