TLS Cipher List Policy

Node.js v4.0.0 will ship with a new --tls-cipher-list command line switch that allows the default TLS Cipher List to be overridden at a process level. This module provides methods for reverting, and optionally forcing, the require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS property to use the core built in cipher list.

const tls_policy = require('tls-cipher-list-policy');
 
if (!tls_policy.checkBuiltIn()) {
  console.warn('WARNING: Not using the built TLS Cipher List. Reverting!');
  tls_policy.enforceBuiltIn();
}

enforceBuiltIn()

Turns the require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS property into a constant set to the default built-in cipher list. The value cannot be changed once this method is set.

resetBuiltIn()

Resets the require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS property to the default built-in cipher list. The value is not turned into a constant, however, and can be modified.

checkBuiltIn()

Returns true if the require('tls').DEFAULT_CIPHERS property equals the default built-in cipher list.
