I compile Nginx from mainline source and update shortly after each patch/point release. As part of the compile process, I obtain the current OpenSSL source and bake that in with these compile flags:
--with-openssl-opt="enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 shared no-ssl2 no-ssl3 no-weak-ssl-ciphers -fstack-protector-strong" \ --with-openssl=../../openssl-source/openssl-OpenSSL_$openssl_source_version I understand Nginx can be compiled with other TLS libraries. I also understand this might be 'there be dragons' territory. I use OpenSSL because it appears to work for my use case. However, I am researching alternative TLS libraries to perhaps use with Nginx. Heartbleed (2014) alerted me to the issue(s) with OpenSSL and although some time has passed, I am aware that projects like LibreSSL were borne out of a necessity to improve code quality. TLS 1.3 support in LibreSSL is improving, and that's my impetus to investigate a potential change. If you compile Nginx with a TLS library -- whether it's OpenSSL or not -- I would be grateful if you could tell me what vendor/flavour you use, and a brief note about why you selected it. Thank you, and best wishes to you from rainy Cornwall, United Kingdom.
