ABSTRACT

Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides mechanisms to protect data during
electronic dissemination across the Internet. This Special Publication provides
guidance to the selection and configuration of TLS protocol implementations
while making effective use of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
and NIST-recommended cryptographic algorithms. It requires that TLS 1.2
configured with FIPS-based cipher suites be supported by all government TLS
servers and clients and requires support for TLS 1.3 by January 1, 2024. This
Special Publication also provides guidance on certificates and TLS extensions
that impact security.
