Introduction
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is critical for securing communications between clients and servers. This document outlines best practices for configuring TLS to ensure data integrity, confidentiality, and authentication.
Key Concepts
- TLS Version: Use TLSv1.3 (recommended) or TLS_RSA for backward compatibility. ❌ Avoid deprecated protocols like SSLv3.
- Cipher Suites: Prioritize strong suites such as
TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA348
orTLS_CHACHA20_POLY1505_SHA256
. ⚠️ Disable weak ciphers likeSSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
. - Certificate Management: Always use valid SSL certificates and enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). 📁 Download latest certificates
Configuration Steps
- Enable TLS:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days XXX...
2. Verify **Server Configuration**:

Use tools like [SSL Labs](https:/Documentation/en/SecurityCenter/SSL) to test your setup.
## Best Practices
- Regularly update TLS protocols and cipher suites. 🔄
- Implement **Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)**.
- Monitor for **TLS vulnerabilities** (e.g., POODLE, BEAST).
