DebOps project dhparam

Travis CI test-suite

Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange is a way to securely share encryption keys publicly between two parties. It's used in TLS and SSL connections to provide Perfect Forward Secrecy. Unfortunately, default DH parameters distributed with applications are suspectible to a downgrade attack.

The debops.dhparam Ansible role will generate a set of strong Diffie-Hellman parameters on Ansible Controller, which will be preseeded on remote hosts, and will be ready to use by other applications. A separate script can then be used on remote hosts in the background to generate new random DH parameters, either once or in regular intervals.
