configuration parameters

val sexp_of_config : config -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val ciphers13 : config -> Ciphersuite.ciphersuite13 list

ciphers13 config are the ciphersuites for TLS 1.3 in the configuration.

type client

opaque type of a client configuration

val sexp_of_client : client -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val client_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> client
type server

opaque type of a server configuration

val sexp_of_server : server -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val server_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> server

Constructors

val client : authenticator:X509.Authenticator.t -> ?peer_name:[ `host ] Domain_name.t -> ?ciphers:Ciphersuite.ciphersuite list -> ?version:(Core.tls_version * Core.tls_version) -> ?signature_algorithms:Core.signature_algorithm list -> ?reneg:bool -> ?certificates:own_cert -> ?cached_session:Core.epoch_data -> ?cached_ticket:(Core.psk13 * Core.epoch_data) -> ?ticket_cache:ticket_cache -> ?alpn_protocols:string list -> ?groups:Core.group 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) -> ?signature_algorithms:Core.signature_algorithm list -> ?reneg:bool -> ?certificates:own_cert -> ?acceptable_cas:X509.Distinguished_name.t list -> ?authenticator:X509.Authenticator.t -> ?session_cache:session_cache -> ?ticket_cache:ticket_cache -> ?alpn_protocols:string list -> ?groups:Core.group list -> ?zero_rtt:int32 -> 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 -> [ `host ] Domain_name.t -> 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.
