Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | * This documentation describes the internal structure of mbed TLS. It was |

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | * mbed TLS has a simple setup: it provides the ingredients for an SSL/TLS |
Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 32 | * implementation. These ingredients are listed as modules in the |
| 33 | * \ref mainpage_modules "Modules section". This "Modules section" introduces |
| 34 | * the high-level module concepts used throughout this documentation.\n |
Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 35 | * Some examples of mbed TLS usage can be found in the \ref mainpage_examples |

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 40 | * mbed TLS supports SSLv3 up to TLSv1.2 communication by providing the |
Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | * following: |
| 42 | * - TCP/IP communication functions: listen, connect, accept, read/write. |
| 43 | * - SSL/TLS communication functions: init, handshake, read/write. |
| 44 | * - X.509 functions: CRT, CRL and key handling |
| 45 | * - Random number generation |
| 46 | * - Hashing |
| 47 | * - Encryption/decryption |
| 48 | * |
Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | * Above functions are split up neatly into logical interfaces. These can be |
| 50 | * used separately to provide any of the above functions or to mix-and-match |
| 51 | * into an SSL server/client solution that utilises a X.509 PKI. Examples of |
| 52 | * such implementations are amply provided with the source code. |

Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard | b4fe3cb | 2015-01-22 16:11:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 54 | * Note that mbed TLS does not provide a control channel or (multiple) session |
Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 55 | * handling without additional work from the developer. |

| 60 | * |
Paul Bakker | dcbfdcc | 2013-09-10 16:16:50 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 61 | * \b Prerequisites: |
Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 62 | * - X.509 certificate and private key |
| 63 | * - session handling functions |
| 64 | * |
| 65 | * \b Setup: |
| 66 | * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface) |
| 67 | * - Setup the listening TCP socket (TCP/IP interface) |
| 68 | * - Accept incoming client connection (TCP/IP interface) |
| 69 | * - Initialise as an SSL-server (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 70 | * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication, ciphers, CA-chain, key exchange |
| 71 | * - Set callback functions RNG, IO, session handling |
| 72 | * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 73 | * - Read/write data (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 74 | * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces) |
| 75 | * |
Paul Bakker | 37ca75d | 2011-01-06 12:28:03 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | * Example client setup: |
| 77 | * |
| 78 | * \b Prerequisites: |
| 79 | * - X.509 certificate and private key |
| 80 | * - X.509 trusted CA certificates |
| 81 | * |
| 82 | * \b Setup: |
| 83 | * - Load the trusted CA certificates (X.509 interface) |
| 84 | * - Load your certificate and your private RSA key (X.509 interface) |
| 85 | * - Setup a TCP/IP connection (TCP/IP interface) |
| 86 | * - Initialise as an SSL-client (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 87 | * - Set parameters, e.g. authentication mode, ciphers, CA-chain, session |
| 88 | * - Set callback functions RNG, IO |
| 89 | * - Perform an SSL-handshake (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 90 | * - Verify the server certificate (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 91 | * - Write/read data (SSL/TLS interface) |
| 92 | * - Close and cleanup (all interfaces) |
