-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 The default settings for mod_ssl (for use in httpd) is: SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!aNULL:!MD5 This isn't a great default (for many reasons). I'd like to propose we provide the default ciphers suites as defined by Mozilla[0] in the configuration file with the Intermediate compatibility cipher suite uncommented: <quote> #This is the modern cipher suite that provides a higher level of security and is compatible with the latest browsers. #SSLCipherSuite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!3DES:!MD5:!PSK #This is the intermediate cipher suite that provides good security and compatibility with many browsers.
