Description

Hi,

[Neverbleed](https://github.com/h2o/neverbleed) is a privilege separation engine for OpenSSL / LibreSSL that runs RSA private key operations in an isolated process, thereby minimizing the risk of private key leak in case of vulnerability such as Heartbleed.

Please support it to increase the security of Nginx.

Thanks in advance,

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

As of nginx 1.7.9+, loading of secret keys via arbitrary OpenSSL engines is supported, and this allows to store store keys even on hardware tokens, as well as in isolated processes. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.
