Over the last week we've been upgrading the server operating system from [[Debian]] 6 to 7 and the web server from Apache to [[Nginx]]. One reason for the move is the recent interest in [[w:Perfect forward secrecy|Perfect forward secrecy]] (PFS) coming from articles such as [http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2013/06/25/ssl-intercepted-today-decrypted-tomorrow.html this]. PFS is an obscure feature of SSL/TLS and requires at least OpenSSL version 1 which is included in Debian 7 but not in version 6. Also a more recent version of Apache than is packaged in Debian 7 is required, but Nginx has supported PFS for quite some time now.
