How do you score A+ with 100 on all categories on SSL Labs test with Let's Encrypt and Nginx?

问题

I'm trying to score 100 on all categories when testing my SSL certs at www.ssllabs.com

However, I am struggling to get A+ and 100 on all scores.

Any tips as to what NGINX config I should use? Or how I should generate my Let's Encrypt certs? thx

回答1:

These instructions apply to all certs (including Let's Encrypt certs). However, one or two Let's Encrypt specific tips are given.

The NGINX SSL config given below will give you the following SSL Labs scores. You choose:

Recommended

A+
Certificate 100/100
Protocol Support 95/100
Key Exchange 90/100
Cipher Strength 90/100

Perfect but restrictive

A+
Certificate 100/100
Protocol Support 100/100
Key Exchange 100/100
Cipher Strength 100/100

NGINX SSL config - Extract the bits you want. The notes clarify how a given NGINX directive will effect your SSL Labs score:

# Your listen directive should be .. listen 443 ssl http2;
# gzip off; # gzip over ssl? really?

ssl_certificate      /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key  /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/privkey.pem;

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 valid=300s;
resolver_timeout 10s;

add_header X-Frame-Options DENY;
add_header X-Content-Type-Options nosniff;

Note, you can only get 100 on Key Exchange if your:

certificates RSA key size is 4096 (for Let's Encrypt use --rsa-key-size 4096 when generating the cert otherwise you are stuck with the RSA key size used when your CA generated the cert for you) AND
dhparam is 4096 (openssl dhparam -out dhparam4096.pem 4096) - This takes approx 1 hour to generate, useless for an automated solution

EDIT

2048 is enough security for the next 40 years. Noone has ever cracked a 1024, let alone a 2048!
openssl dhparam -dsaparam -out dhparam4096.pem 4096 ... is much quicker that one hour (see -dsaparam flag) but I don't know whether you should use it or not ... have not tested it on SSL Labs test since I'm going with 2048
