APACHEDepending on your configuration, this may need to be changed in multiple locations.The default Apache configuration file can be found:On Debian / Ubuntu based systems: /etc/apache2/apache2.confOn Red Hat / CentOS based systems: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.confIf it is configured in a virtual host, the configuration files will generally be:On Debian / Ubuntu based systems: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ On Red Hat / CentOS based systems: /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/In your configuration file(s), find the entry "SSLProtocol" and modify it to look like:SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1This tells Apache to enable all protocols, but disable SSLv2, SSLv3, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. The last step is to restart the Apache service:service apache2 restartorservice httpd restart
How to Enable TLS 1.3 in Apache and Nginx
If you download the Nginx from the centos 7 repo you will get Nginx built with OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips. But If you want to enable TLS 1.3 then you must fulfill the few requirements. To enable TLS 1.3 on any distributions please look at the below-required details.
Not recommended to use. Has known issues that cannot be mitigated in a way that guarantees interoperability, and does not support modern cipher suites. In RHEL 8, enabled only in the LEGACY system-wide cryptographic policy profile.
Supports the modern AEAD cipher suites. This version is enabled in all system-wide crypto policies, but optional parts of this protocol contain vulnerabilities and TLS 1.2 also allows outdated algorithms.
Recommended version. TLS 1.3 removes known problematic options, provides additional privacy by encrypting more of the negotiation handshake and can be faster thanks usage of more efficient modern cryptographic algorithms. TLS 1.3 is also enabled in all system-wide crypto policies.

Found the solution after much digging. I had to update /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf and add ssl protocols TLSv1.3 there, as well as add to ssl_ciphers TLS 1.3 ciphers TLS-CHACHA20-POLY1305-SHA256:TLS-AES-256-GCM-SHA384:TLS-AES-128-GCM-SHA256:
In a previous article, I explained the steps of compiling Nginx source code with OpenSSL 1.1.1 in order to enable TLS 1.3 protocol, which was officially released in August 2018. In this tutorial, I will show you a simpler way to enable TLS 1.3 on Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04 and 16.04
If you have previously added another Nginx repository (like nginx.org), then disable it. For example, I have another Nginx repository defined in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nginx-repo.list file. I simply comment out all lines in that file to disable it.
Yes. Cloudflare supports TLS 1.3 on the front end server, and it also uses TLSv1.3 when connecting to your origin server. To check what TLS version is being used, you can create a custom log format in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file.
I hope this tutorial helped you enable TLS 1.3 in Nginx on Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 18.04, and Ubuntu 16.04. You may also want to set up the ModSecurity web application firewall to protect your website from hacking.
oqs-engine is a C-based OpenSSL ENGINE that enables in (vanilla) OpenSSL the use of post-quantum digital signature algorithms from liboqs. Changes and/or additions to the algorithms supported by liboqs will be dynamically reflected in the ENGINE, thereby facilitating the deployment and evaluation of post-quantum digital signature algorithms in contexts where it might be expensive or infeasible to replace OpenSSL wholesale with our corresponding fork.
The easiest way to get started with experimenting with post-quantum cryptography is to use our pre-built Docker images containing post-quantum-enabled versions of the web servers Apache httpd and nginx, the high-availability web proxy haproxy or the command-line web client curl. You can also download a pre-built binary of post-quantum-enabled Chromium and Wireshark.
Note: TLS 1.3 support for Apache has been added in Apache 2.4.37 and later versions (currently available on Ubuntu 20, Debian 10 and CentOS 8). On other operating systems, to implement TLS 1.3 for web, use Apache with nginx as a proxy.
By having both TLS 1.3 and TLS 1.2 enabled on your server, you can ensure compatibility no matter what, while still getting the benefits of TLS 1.3 for browsers that support it, like Chrome and Firefox.
To check if a browser supports session resume without and withtickets, I have written a web server listening toseveral ports with different configurations (session cache disabled orenabled, ticket support disabled or enabled). With the help of someJavaScript, it is possible to interact with this server to determinewhat kind of session resume a browser support.
Apache features two different TLS engines. The first one ismod_ssl and uses OpenSSL as the backend. It is possible tosetup a shared session cache with SSLSessionCache but thememcached-enabled session cache is available only in the developmentbranch. You can also get one by switching tomod_gnutls backend. The cache is enabled withGnuTLSCache. In this case, do not enable tickets because they cannotbe shared.
With nginx, you need to enable the shared session cache withssl_session_cache. Currently, it lacks a memcached-enabled sessioncache but Matt Palmer has some patches to add it tothe 0.8 branch. However, these patches can have a serious impact onnginx performance since retrieving a session from memcached is donesynchronously (mostly because of a limitation in OpenSSL design whodoes not allow us to register asynchronous callbacks withSSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb()).
As a proof of concept, I have also added a similar feature tostud, the scalable TLS unwrapping daemon, a very efficientnetwork proxy terminating TLS connections. The same limitation as fornginx applies: performance will suffer. Look at thepull request for more details.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an internet security protocol that enables authentication and safe delivery of content on the internet. For example, it makes things like using a credit card for purchases or filling out employee applications with sensitive information on websites safe.

Hello Bidhan, while following the tutorial-NGINX updated to the latest Done-OpenSSL updated to the latest Done -./configure nginx with new openssl binary path shows that it was completed successfully but the new nginx keeps pointing to the old OpenSSL module, instead of the newly installed : OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020description:

I wrote in an earlier post about the threat posed by quantum computers to public-key cryptography. It's likely that well-heeled adversaries, whether private or nation-state, are already using the "harvest traffic now and decrypt it later" strategy, and your encrypted communications, if truly valuable, are likely already being copied and stored by someone, somewhere. That someone is willing to wait until quantum processors scale enough to enable decryption of conventional key-encapsulation and signature algorithms used in TLS. Once these are broken, the underlying symmetric session keys will be ripe for plucking from your recorded encrypted traffic. And that traffic will then be easily decrypted.
To see how TLS 1.3 matches up to TLS 1.2, we ran several performance tests on an Nginx server supporting TLS 1.3. Tests were performed on , a test site provided by the TLS Workgroup, using Sitespeed.io. We tested both versions on separate instances of Chrome 63.0.3293.132: one with TLS 1.3 enabled (using ECDHE_ECDSA with X25519 for key exchange) and one with it disabled (using X25519 for key exchange). In each browser instance, we made three calls to the site and repeated this step three times.
For now, you can check if your network is ready for TLS 1.3 by using CloudFlare's middlebox interference test. You can also check to see if your browser is TLS 1.3-compatible by using Qualys's SSL Client Test. If the Protocol Features box shows TLS 1.3 in green, you're all set. You can also enable TLS 1.2 on your servers alongside TLS 1.3, and clients that don't support the latest version will fall back to a compatible version.
NGINX has had support for TLS 1.3 since version 1.14.0. NGINX relies on OpenSSL for certain cryptographic functions, and will have to have been built against OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later in order to take advantage of TLS 1.3. In a text editor, simply open your nginx.conf file (usually located at /etc/nginx.conf or /etc/nginx/nginx.conf) and add TLSv1.3 to the ssl_protocols directive. 2ff7e9595c
