From 81c48089befc79a071f6657d5e46d7f9e5073a3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shigeki Ohtsu Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 14:20:26 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] tls: make server not use DHE in less than 1024bits DHE key lengths less than 1024bits is already weaken as pointed out in https://weakdh.org/ . 1024bits will not be safe in near future. We will extend this up to 2048bits somedays later. --- doc/api/tls.markdown | 6 ++++-- src/node_crypto.cc | 6 ++++++ test/parallel/test-tls-dhe.js | 10 ++++++---- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/api/tls.markdown b/doc/api/tls.markdown index 657f690343ff03..a00b27dab91c94 100644 --- a/doc/api/tls.markdown +++ b/doc/api/tls.markdown @@ -183,8 +183,10 @@ automatically set as a listener for the [secureConnection][] event.
