Diffie-Hellman Security
-----------------------
To secure your web server, the `Guide to Deploying Diffie-Hellman for TLS`_
contains important information worth reading. This link contains a good
`nginx secure configuration`_ example. The documentation below also contains
good security settings with some additional |RCE| specific examples.
To secure your deployment of Diffie-Hellman, configure the following:
* Generate a strong Diffie-hellman group, 2048-bit or stronger.
.. code-block:: bash
# to generate your dhparam.pem file, run in the terminal
openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048
* Configure your server to only use modern, secure cipher suites in the
virtual hosts configuration file.
.. code-block:: nginx
# Set the TLS protocols and to only use modern, secure cipher suites.
