Config type

type certchain = Core.Cert.t list * Mirage_crypto_pk.Rsa.priv

]

polymorphic variant of own certificates

configuration parameters

val config_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> config

val sexp_of_config : config -> Sexplib.Sexp.t

type client

opaque type of a client configuration

val client_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> client

val sexp_of_client : client -> Sexplib.Sexp.t

type server

opaque type of a server configuration

val server_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> server

val sexp_of_server : server -> Sexplib.Sexp.t

Constructors

val client : 
  authenticator:X509.Authenticator.t ->
  ?peer_name:string ->
  ?ciphers:Ciphersuite.ciphersuite list ->
  ?version:(Core.tls_version * Core.tls_version) ->
  ?hashes:Mirage_crypto.Hash.hash list ->
  ?reneg:bool ->
  ?certificates:own_cert ->
  ?cached_session:Core.epoch_data ->
  ?alpn_protocols:string list ->
  unit ->
  client

client authenticator ?peer_name ?ciphers ?version ?hashes ?reneg ?certificates ?alpn_protocols is client configuration with the given parameters.

raises Invalid_argument
if the configuration is invalid

val server : 
  ?ciphers:Ciphersuite.ciphersuite list ->
  ?version:(Core.tls_version * Core.tls_version) ->
  ?hashes:Mirage_crypto.Hash.hash list ->
  ?reneg:bool ->
  ?certificates:own_cert ->
  ?acceptable_cas:X509.Distinguished_name.t list ->
  ?authenticator:X509.Authenticator.t ->
  ?session_cache:session_cache ->
  ?alpn_protocols:string list ->
  unit ->
  server

server ?ciphers ?version ?hashes ?reneg ?certificates ?acceptable_cas ?authenticator ?alpn_protocols is server configuration with the given parameters.

raises Invalid_argument
if the configuration is invalid

val peer : client -> string -> client

peer client name is client with name as peer_name

Note on ALPN protocol selection

Both client and server constructors accept an alpn_protocols list. The list for server should be given in a descending order of preference. In the case of protocol selection, the server will iterate its list and select the first element that the client's list also advertises.

For example, if the client advertises ["foo"; "bar"; "baz"] and the server has ["bar"; "foo"], "bar" will be selected as the protocol of the handshake.

Utility functions

val default_hashes : Mirage_crypto.Hash.hash list

default_hashes is a list of hash algorithms used by default

val supported_hashes : Mirage_crypto.Hash.hash list

supported_hashes is a list of supported hash algorithms by this library

val min_dh_size : int
