ssl-config
Advanced tools
Readme
A node.js implementation of the recommended cipher suites and TLS/SSL versions from Mozilla's Server Side TLS project.
The suite list uses the cipher suite prioritization logic from Mozilla. Since Firefox and Chrome don't support AES-GCM with 256 bit keys, a 128 bit AES key is considered superior.
Note this package only sets cipher suites and TLS/SSL versions, other parts of the recommendations are implemented elsewhere, eg, for Express servers HSTS we recommend using Helmet.
Just use either 'modern', 'intermediate' or 'old'.
Requires IE 11, Firefox 27, Chrome 22, Safari 7, Android 4.4, Opera 14, Java 8 or newer.
Requires IE 7, Firefox 1, Chrome 1, Safari 1, Windows XP IE8, Android 2.3, Opera 5, Java 7 or newer.
Windows XP IE6, Java 6 and newer. You really shouldn't use this setting, it is implemented for compatibility with Mozilla's tools.
Eg:
var sslConfig = require('ssl-config')('modern');
Then run https.createServer
per node.js TLS and io.js TLS docs.
https.createServer({
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: certificateAuthority,
ciphers: sslConfig.ciphers,
honorCipherOrder: true,
secureOptions: sslConfig.minimumTLSVersion
});
Or for express.js
var server = https.createServer({
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: certificateAuthority,
ciphers: sslConfig.ciphers,
honorCipherOrder: true,
secureOptions: sslConfig.minimumTLSVersion
}, app);
Or for Hapi:
var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({
// other config options here
tls: {
key: privateKey,
cert: certificate,
ca: certificateAuthority,
ciphers: sslConfig.ciphers,
honorCipherOrder: true,
secureOptions: sslConfig.minimumTLSVersion
},
routes: {
security: true // turns on HSTS and other security headers
}
});
