    The Cloudflare talk introduces TLS 1.3 and explains how it works in technical detail, why it is faster and more secure, and touches on its history and current status.



    Unfortunately, OpenSSL and LibreSSL haven't implemented TLS 1.3 yet so not working with Nginx HTTPS yet.

    Some info on OpenSSL's TLS 1.3 plans in OpenSSL 1.1.1 https://community.centminmod.com/threads/openssl-and-tls-1-3-next.9286/

    Yes Cloudflare's innovation is amazing as to what they bring to the table for web performance and web security. I can imagine, they're eating into complementary competitor's bottom line a lot i.e. CDNs and smaller anti-DDOS/waf providers and not to mention hold off users' server hardware vertical upgrade paths till a lot later !

    Even though it was already released in OpenSSL and could work on Nginx. Which of course is not.
    It is quite useless ATM as it is not enabled by default on browsers like Chrome stable (stable 56 with tls 1.3 support) etc.

    BoringSSL does have version 1.3 but, you need to patch the code to enable 1.3.

    I have done some testing with BoringSSL but it actually makes no sense. Apart from the above is, 1.3 is still draft.

    Well TLS 1.3 ain't perfect yet - Chrome browser connections hanging up on TLS 1.3 connections 694593 - BlueCoat and other proxies hang up during TLS 1.3 - chromium - Monorail
