Diffie-Hellman Security

To secure your web server, the Guide to Deploying Diffie-Hellman for TLS contains important information worth reading. This link contains some good secure Apache configuration examples.

To secure your deployment of Diffie-Hellman, configure the following:

  1. Generate a strong Diffie-hellman group, 2048-bit or stronger.
# to generate your dhparam.pem file, run in the terminal
openssl dhparam -out /etc/apache/ssl/dhparam.pem 2048
  1. Configure your server to only use modern, secure cipher suites in the virtual hosts configuration file.
# Set the protocol to only use modern, secure cipher suites.
SSLProtocol             all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
SSLHonorCipherOrder     on
