Likely the same or similar to what browsers recommend.

Currently using:

ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES1

SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA

ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
