For most common cases, each server must have a private key.</p> <p>Private keys can be generated in multiple ways. The example below illustrates use of the OpenSSL command-line interface to generate a 2048-bit RSA private key:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl genrsa -out ryans-key.pem 2048</code></pre> <p>With TLS/SSL, all servers (and some clients) must have a <em>certificate</em>. Certificates are <em>public keys</em> that correspond to a private key, and that are digitally signed either by a Certificate Authority or by the owner of the private key (such certificates are referred to as "self-signed"). The first step to obtaining a certificate is to create a <em>Certificate Signing Request</em> (CSR) file.</p> <p>The OpenSSL command-line interface can be used to generate a CSR for a private key:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl req -new -sha256 -key ryans-key.pem -out ryans-csr.pem</code></pre> <p>Once the CSR file is generated, it can either be sent to a Certificate Authority for signing or used to generate a self-signed certificate.</p> <p>Creating a self-signed certificate using the OpenSSL command-line interface is illustrated in the example below:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl x509 -req -<span class="hljs-keyword">in</span> ryans-csr.pem -signkey ryans-key.pem -out ryans-cert.pem</code></pre> <p>Once the certificate is generated, it can be used to generate a <code>.pfx</code> or <code>.p12</code> file:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl pkcs12 -<span class="hljs-built_in">export</span> -<span class="hljs-keyword">in</span> ryans-cert.pem -inkey ryans-key.pem \ -certfile ca-cert.pem -out ryans.pfx</code></pre> <p>Where:</p> <ul> <li><code>in</code>: is the signed certificate</li> <li><code>inkey</code>: is the associated private key</li> <li><code>certfile</code>: is a concatenation of all Certificate Authority (CA) certs into a single file, e.g. <code>cat ca1-cert.pem ca2-cert.pem > ca-cert.pem</code></li> </ul> <h4>Perfect forward secrecy<span><a class="mark" href="#perfect-forward-secrecy" id="perfect-forward-secrecy">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_perfect_forward_secrecy"></a></h4> <p>The term <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_forward_secrecy">forward secrecy</a></em> or <em>perfect forward secrecy</em> describes a feature of key-agreement (i.e., key-exchange) methods. That is, the server and client keys are used to negotiate new temporary keys that are used specifically and only for the current communication session. Practically, this means that even if the server's private key is compromised, communication can only be decrypted by eavesdroppers if the attacker manages to obtain the key-pair specifically generated for the session.</p> <p>Perfect forward secrecy is achieved by randomly generating a key pair for key-agreement on every TLS/SSL handshake (in contrast to using the same key for all sessions). Methods implementing this technique are called "ephemeral".</p> <p>Currently two methods are commonly used to achieve perfect forward secrecy (note the character "E" appended to the traditional abbreviations):</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman_key_exchange">DHE</a>: An ephemeral version of the Diffie-Hellman key-agreement protocol.</li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_Diffie%E2%80%93Hellman">ECDHE</a>: An ephemeral version of the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key-agreement protocol.</li> </ul> <p>To use perfect forward secrecy using <code>DHE</code> with the <code>node:tls</code> module, it is required to generate Diffie-Hellman parameters and specify them with the <code>dhparam</code> option to <a href="#tlscreatesecurecontextoptions"><code>tls.createSecureContext()</code></a>. The following illustrates the use of the OpenSSL command-line interface to generate such parameters:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">openssl dhparam -outform PEM -out dhparam.pem 2048</code></pre> <p>If using perfect forward secrecy using <code>ECDHE</code>, Diffie-Hellman parameters are not required and a default ECDHE curve will be used. The <code>ecdhCurve</code> property can be used when creating a TLS Server to specify the list of names of supported curves to use, see <a href="#tlscreateserveroptions-secureconnectionlistener"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a> for more info.</p> <p>Perfect forward secrecy was optional up to TLSv1.2, but it is not optional for TLSv1.3, because all TLSv1.3 cipher suites use ECDHE.</p> <h4>ALPN and SNI<span><a class="mark" href="#alpn-and-sni" id="alpn-and-sni">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_alpn_and_sni"></a></h4> <p>ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension) and SNI (Server Name Indication) are TLS handshake extensions:</p> <ul> <li>ALPN: Allows the use of one TLS server for multiple protocols (HTTP, HTTP/2)</li> <li>SNI: Allows the use of one TLS server for multiple hostnames with different certificates.</li> </ul> <h4>Pre-shared keys<span><a class="mark" href="#pre-shared-keys" id="pre-shared-keys">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_pre_shared_keys"></a></h4> <p>TLS-PSK support is available as an alternative to normal certificate-based authentication. It uses a pre-shared key instead of certificates to authenticate a TLS connection, providing mutual authentication. TLS-PSK and public key infrastructure are not mutually exclusive. Clients and servers can accommodate both, choosing either of them during the normal cipher negotiation step.</p> <p>TLS-PSK is only a good choice where means exist to securely share a key with every connecting machine, so it does not replace the public key infrastructure (PKI) for the majority of TLS uses. The TLS-PSK implementation in OpenSSL has seen many security flaws in recent years, mostly because it is used only by a minority of applications. Please consider all alternative solutions before switching to PSK ciphers. Upon generating PSK it is of critical importance to use sufficient entropy as discussed in <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4086">RFC 4086</a>. Deriving a shared secret from a password or other low-entropy sources is not secure.</p> <p>PSK ciphers are disabled by default, and using TLS-PSK thus requires explicitly specifying a cipher suite with the <code>ciphers</code> option. The list of available ciphers can be retrieved via <code>openssl ciphers -v 'PSK'</code>. All TLS 1.3 ciphers are eligible for PSK but currently only those that use SHA256 digest are supported they can be retrieved via <code>openssl ciphers -v -s -tls1_3 -psk</code>.</p> <p>According to the <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4279">RFC 4279</a>, PSK identities up to 128 bytes in length and PSKs up to 64 bytes in length must be supported. As of OpenSSL 1.1.0 maximum identity size is 128 bytes, and maximum PSK length is 256 bytes.</p> <p>The current implementation doesn't support asynchronous PSK callbacks due to the limitations of the underlying OpenSSL API.</p> <h4>Client-initiated renegotiation attack mitigation<span><a class="mark" href="#client-initiated-renegotiation-attack-mitigation" id="client-initiated-renegotiation-attack-mitigation">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_client_initiated_renegotiation_attack_mitigation"></a></h4> <p>The TLS protocol allows clients to renegotiate certain aspects of the TLS session. Unfortunately, session renegotiation requires a disproportionate amount of server-side resources, making it a potential vector for denial-of-service attacks.</p> <p>To mitigate the risk, renegotiation is limited to three times every ten minutes. An <code>'error'</code> event is emitted on the <a href="#class-tlstlssocket"><code>tls.TLSSocket</code></a> instance when this threshold is exceeded. The limits are configurable:</p> <ul> <li><code>tls.CLIENT_RENEG_LIMIT</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Specifies the number of renegotiation requests. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>3</code>.</li> <li><code>tls.CLIENT_RENEG_WINDOW</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#Number_type" class="type"><number></a> Specifies the time renegotiation window in seconds. <strong>Default:</strong> <code>600</code> (10 minutes).</li> </ul> <p>The default renegotiation limits should not be modified without a full understanding of the implications and risks.</p> <p>TLSv1.3 does not support renegotiation.</p> <h4>Session resumption<span><a class="mark" href="#session-resumption" id="session-resumption">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_session_resumption"></a></h4> <p>Establishing a TLS session can be relatively slow. The process can be sped up by saving and later reusing the session state. There are several mechanisms to do so, discussed here from oldest to newest (and preferred).</p> <h5>Session identifiers<span><a class="mark" href="#session-identifiers" id="session-identifiers">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_session_identifiers"></a></h5> <p>Servers generate a unique ID for new connections and send it to the client. Clients and servers save the session state. When reconnecting, clients send the ID of their saved session state and if the server also has the state for that ID, it can agree to use it. Otherwise, the server will create a new session. See <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt">RFC 2246</a> for more information, page 23 and 30.</p> <p>Resumption using session identifiers is supported by most web browsers when making HTTPS requests.</p> <p>For Node.js, clients wait for the <a href="#event-session"><code>'session'</code></a> event to get the session data, and provide the data to the <code>session</code> option of a subsequent <a href="#tlsconnectoptions-callback"><code>tls.connect()</code></a> to reuse the session. Servers must implement handlers for the <a href="#event-newsession"><code>'newSession'</code></a> and <a href="#event-resumesession"><code>'resumeSession'</code></a> events to save and restore the session data using the session ID as the lookup key to reuse sessions. To reuse sessions across load balancers or cluster workers, servers must use a shared session cache (such as Redis) in their session handlers.</p> <h5>Session tickets<span><a class="mark" href="#session-tickets" id="session-tickets">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_session_tickets"></a></h5> <p>The servers encrypt the entire session state and send it to the client as a "ticket". When reconnecting, the state is sent to the server in the initial connection. This mechanism avoids the need for a server-side session cache. If the server doesn't use the ticket, for any reason (failure to decrypt it, it's too old, etc.), it will create a new session and send a new ticket. See <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077">RFC 5077</a> for more information.</p> <p>Resumption using session tickets is becoming commonly supported by many web browsers when making HTTPS requests.</p> <p>For Node.js, clients use the same APIs for resumption with session identifiers as for resumption with session tickets. For debugging, if <a href="#tlssocketgettlsticket"><code>tls.TLSSocket.getTLSTicket()</code></a> returns a value, the session data contains a ticket, otherwise it contains client-side session state.</p> <p>With TLSv1.3, be aware that multiple tickets may be sent by the server, resulting in multiple <code>'session'</code> events, see <a href="#event-session"><code>'session'</code></a> for more information.</p> <p>Single process servers need no specific implementation to use session tickets. To use session tickets across server restarts or load balancers, servers must all have the same ticket keys. There are three 16-byte keys internally, but the tls API exposes them as a single 48-byte buffer for convenience.</p> <p>It's possible to get the ticket keys by calling <a href="#servergetticketkeys"><code>server.getTicketKeys()</code></a> on one server instance and then distribute them, but it is more reasonable to securely generate 48 bytes of secure random data and set them with the <code>ticketKeys</code> option of <a href="#tlscreateserveroptions-secureconnectionlistener"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a>. The keys should be regularly regenerated and server's keys can be reset with <a href="#serversetticketkeyskeys"><code>server.setTicketKeys()</code></a>.</p> <p>Session ticket keys are cryptographic keys, and they <em><strong>must be stored securely</strong></em>. With TLS 1.2 and below, if they are compromised all sessions that used tickets encrypted with them can be decrypted. They should not be stored on disk, and they should be regenerated regularly.</p> <p>If clients advertise support for tickets, the server will send them. The server can disable tickets by supplying <code>require('node:constants').SSL_OP_NO_TICKET</code> in <code>secureOptions</code>.</p> <p>Both session identifiers and session tickets timeout, causing the server to create new sessions. The timeout can be configured with the <code>sessionTimeout</code> option of <a href="#tlscreateserveroptions-secureconnectionlistener"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a>.</p> <p>For all the mechanisms, when resumption fails, servers will create new sessions. Since failing to resume the session does not cause TLS/HTTPS connection failures, it is easy to not notice unnecessarily poor TLS performance. The OpenSSL CLI can be used to verify that servers are resuming sessions. Use the <code>-reconnect</code> option to <code>openssl s_client</code>, for example:</p> <pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash">openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -reconnect</span></code></pre> <p>Read through the debug output. The first connection should say "New", for example:</p> <pre><code class="language-text">New, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256</code></pre> <p>Subsequent connections should say "Reused", for example:</p> <pre><code class="language-text">Reused, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256</code></pre> </section><section><h3>Modifying the default TLS cipher suite<span><a class="mark" href="#modifying-the-default-tls-cipher-suite" id="modifying-the-default-tls-cipher-suite">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="tls_modifying_the_default_tls_cipher_suite"></a></h3> <p>Node.js is built with a default suite of enabled and disabled TLS ciphers. This default cipher list can be configured when building Node.js to allow distributions to provide their own default list.</p> <p>The following command can be used to show the default cipher suite:</p> <pre><code class="language-console">node -p crypto.constants.defaultCoreCipherList | tr ':' '\n' TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256 TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 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 ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256 HIGH !aNULL !eNULL !EXPORT !DES !RC4 !MD5 !PSK !SRP !CAMELLIA</code></pre> <p>This default can be replaced entirely using the <a href="cli.html#--tls-cipher-listlist"><code>--tls-cipher-list</code></a> command-line switch (directly, or via the <a href="cli.html#node_optionsoptions"><code>NODE_OPTIONS</code></a> environment variable). For instance, the following makes <code>ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!RC4</code> the default TLS cipher suite:</p> <pre><code class="language-bash">node --tls-cipher-list=<span class="hljs-string">'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!RC4'</span> server.js <span class="hljs-built_in">export</span> NODE_OPTIONS=--tls-cipher-list=<span class="hljs-string">'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:!RC4'</span> node server.js</code></pre> <p>The default can also be replaced on a per client or server basis using the <code>ciphers</code> option from <a href="#tlscreatesecurecontextoptions"><code>tls.createSecureContext()</code></a>, which is also available in <a href="#tlscreateserveroptions-secureconnectionlistener"><code>tls.createServer()</code></a>, <a href="#tlsconnectoptions-callback"><code>tls.connect()</code></a>, and when creating new <a href="#class-tlstlssocket"><code>tls.TLSSocket</code></a>s.</p> <p>The ciphers list can contain a mixture of TLSv1.3 cipher suite names, the ones that start with <code>'TLS_'</code>, and specifications for TLSv1.2 and below cipher suites. The TLSv1.2 ciphers support a legacy specification format, consult the OpenSSL <a href="https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/ciphers.html#CIPHER-LIST-FORMAT">cipher list format</a> documentation for details, but those specifications do <em>not</em> apply to TLSv1.3 ciphers. The TLSv1.3 suites can only be enabled by including their full name in the cipher list. They cannot, for example, be enabled or disabled by using the legacy TLSv1.2 <code>'EECDH'</code> or <code>'!EECDH'</code> specification.</p> <p>Despite the relative order of TLSv1.3 and TLSv1.2 cipher suites, the TLSv1.3 protocol is significantly more secure than TLSv1.2, and will always be chosen over TLSv1.2 if the handshake indicates it is supported, and if any TLSv1.3 cipher suites are enabled.</p> <p>The default cipher suite included within Node.js has been carefully selected to reflect current security best practices and risk mitigation. Changing the default cipher suite can have a significant impact on the security of an application. The <code>--tls-cipher-list</code> switch and <code>ciphers</code> option should by used only if absolutely necessary.</p> <p>The default cipher suite prefers GCM ciphers for <a href="https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/education/tls#TOC-Cipher-Suites">Chrome's 'modern cryptography' setting</a> and also prefers ECDHE and DHE ciphers for perfect forward secrecy, while offering <em>some</em> backward compatibility.</p> <p>Old clients that rely on insecure and deprecated RC4 or DES-based ciphers (like Internet Explorer 6) cannot complete the handshaking process with the default configuration.

This may or may not be before the handshake is complete, depending on the TLS protocol version that was negotiated. The event is not emitted on the server, or if a new session was not created, for example, when the connection was resumed. For some TLS protocol versions the event may be emitted multiple times, in which case all the sessions can be used for resumption.</p> <p>On the client, the <code>session</code> can be provided to the <code>session</code> option of <a href="#tlsconnectoptions-callback"><code>tls.connect()</code></a> to resume the connection.</p> <p>See <a href="#session-resumption">Session Resumption</a> for more information.</p> <p>For TLSv1.2 and below, <a href="#tlssocketgetsession"><code>tls.TLSSocket.getSession()</code></a> can be called once the handshake is complete. For TLSv1.3, only ticket-based resumption is allowed by the protocol, multiple tickets are sent, and the tickets aren't sent until after the handshake completes. So it is necessary to wait for the <code>'session'</code> event to get a resumable session. Applications should use the <code>'session'</code> event instead of <code>getSession()</code> to ensure they will work for all TLS versions.
