GnuTLS requires a server to generate a secret key that is used to sign a cookie(1). That cookie is sent to the client using *note gnutls_dtls_cookie_send::, and the client must reply using the correct cookie. The server side should verify the initial message sent by client using *note gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify::. If successful the session should be initialized and associated with the cookie using *note gnutls_dtls_prestate_set::, before proceeding to the handshake. `INT *note gnutls_key_generate:: (gnutls_datum_t * KEY, unsigned int KEY_SIZE)' `INT *note gnutls_dtls_cookie_send:: (gnutls_datum_t* KEY, void* CLIENT_DATA, size_t CLIENT_DATA_SIZE, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* PRESTATE, gnutls_transport_ptr_t PTR, gnutls_push_func PUSH_FUNC)' `INT *note gnutls_dtls_cookie_verify:: (gnutls_datum_t* KEY, void* CLIENT_DATA, size_t CLIENT_DATA_SIZE, void* _MSG, size_t MSG_SIZE, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* PRESTATE)' `VOID *note gnutls_dtls_prestate_set:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_dtls_prestate_st* PRESTATE)' Note that the above apply to server side only and they are not mandatory to be used. Not using them, however, allows denial of service attacks. The client side cookie handling is part of *note gnutls_handshake::. Datagrams are typically restricted by a maximum transfer unit (MTU). For that both client and server side should set the correct maximum transfer unit for the layer underneath GnuTLS. This will allow proper fragmentation of DTLS messages and prevent messages from being silently discarded by the transport layer. The "correct" maximum transfer unit can be obtained through a path MTU discovery mechanism [_RFC4821_]. `VOID *note gnutls_dtls_set_mtu:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int MTU)' `UNSIGNED INT *note gnutls_dtls_get_mtu:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION)' `UNSIGNED INT *note gnutls_dtls_get_data_mtu:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION)' ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) A key of 128 bits or 16 bytes should be sufficient for this purpose.  File: gnutls.info, Node: TLS handshake, Next: Data transfer and termination, Prev: Setting up the transport layer, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.6 TLS handshake ================= Once a session has been initialized and a network connection has been set up, TLS and DTLS protocols perform a handshake. The handshake is the actual key exchange. -- Function: int gnutls_handshake (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function does the handshake of the TLS/SSL protocol, and initializes the TLS connection. This function will fail if any problem is encountered, and will return a negative error code. In case of a client, if the client has asked to resume a session, but the server couldn't, then a full handshake will be performed. The non-fatal errors such as `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' and `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' interrupt the handshake procedure, which should be resumed later. Call this function again, until it returns 0; cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' and `gnutls_error_is_fatal()' . If this function is called by a server after a rehandshake request then `GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA' or `GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED' may be returned. Note that these are non fatal errors, only in the specific case of a rehandshake. Their meaning is that the client rejected the rehandshake request or in the case of `GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA' it might also mean that some data were pending. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. -- Function: void gnutls_handshake_set_timeout (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int MS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. MS: is a timeout value in milliseconds This function sets the timeout for the handshake process to the provided value. Use an `ms' value of zero to disable timeout. Note that in order for the timeout to be enforced `gnutls_transport_set_pull_timeout_function()' must be set (it is set by default in most systems). The handshake process doesn't ensure the verification of the peer's identity. When certificates are in use, this can be done, either after the handshake is complete, or during the handshake if *note gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function:: has been used. In both cases the *note gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2:: function can be used to verify the peer's certificate (see *note Certificate authentication:: for more information). `INT *note gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int * STATUS)'  File: gnutls.info, Node: Data transfer and termination, Next: Buffered data transfer, Prev: TLS handshake, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.7 Data transfer and termination ================================= Once the handshake is complete and peer's identity has been verified data can be exchanged. The available functions resemble the POSIX `recv' and `send' functions. It is suggested to use *note gnutls_error_is_fatal:: to check whether the error codes returned by these functions are fatal for the protocol or can be ignored. -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_send (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: contains the data to send DATA_SIZE: is the length of the data This function has the similar semantics with `send()' . The only difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes. Note that if the send buffer is full, `send()' will block this function. See the `send()' documentation for full information. You can replace the default push function by using `gnutls_transport_set_ptr2()' with a call to `send()' with a MSG_DONTWAIT flag if blocking is a problem. If the EINTR is returned by the internal push function (the default is `send()' ) then `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' will be returned. If `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' is returned, you must call this function again, with the same parameters; alternatively you could provide a `NULL' pointer for data, and 0 for size. cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . The errno value EMSGSIZE maps to `GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET' . *Returns:* The number of bytes sent, or a negative error code. The number of bytes sent might be less than `data_size' . The maximum number of bytes this function can send in a single call depends on the negotiated maximum record size. -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_recv (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: the buffer that the data will be read into DATA_SIZE: the number of requested bytes This function has the similar semantics with `recv()' . The only difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes. In the special case that a server requests a renegotiation, the client may receive an error code of `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' . This message may be simply ignored, replied with an alert `GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION' , or replied with a new handshake, depending on the client's will. If `EINTR' is returned by the internal push function (the default is `recv()' ) then `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' will be returned. If `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' is returned, you must call this function again to get the data. See also `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . A server may also receive `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' when a client has initiated a handshake. In that case the server can only initiate a handshake or terminate the connection. *Returns:* The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream connections). A negative error code is returned in case of an error. The number of bytes received might be less than the requested `data_size' . -- Function: int gnutls_error_is_fatal (int ERROR) ERROR: is a GnuTLS error code, a negative error code If a GnuTLS function returns a negative error code you may feed that value to this function to see if the error condition is fatal. Note that you may also want to check the error code manually, since some non-fatal errors to the protocol (such as a warning alert or a rehandshake request) may be fatal for your program. This function is only useful if you are dealing with errors from the record layer or the handshake layer. *Returns:* 1 if the error code is fatal, for positive `error' values, 0 is returned. For unknown `error' values, -1 is returned. Although, in the TLS protocol the receive function can be called at any time, when DTLS is used the GnuTLS receive functions must be called once a message is available for reading, even if no data are expected. This is because in DTLS various (internal) actions may be required due to retransmission timers. Moreover, an extended receive function is shown below, which allows the extraction of the message's sequence number. Due to the unreliable nature of the protocol, this field allows distinguishing out-of-order messages. -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_recv_seq (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, unsigned char * SEQ) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: the buffer that the data will be read into DATA_SIZE: the number of requested bytes SEQ: is the packet's 64-bit sequence number. Should have space for 8 bytes. This function is the same as `gnutls_record_recv()' , except that it returns in addition to data, the sequence number of the data. This is useful in DTLS where record packets might be received out-of-order. The returned 8-byte sequence number is an integer in big-endian format and should be treated as a unique message identification. *Returns:* The number of bytes received and zero on EOF. A negative error code is returned in case of an error. The number of bytes received might be less than `data_size' . *Since:* 3.0 The *note gnutls_record_check_pending:: helper function is available to allow checking whether data are available to be read in a GnuTLS session buffers. Note that this function complements but does not replace `select', i.e., *note gnutls_record_check_pending:: reports no data to be read, `select' should be called to check for data in the network buffers. -- Function: size_t gnutls_record_check_pending (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function checks if there are unread data in the gnutls buffers. If the return value is non-zero the next call to `gnutls_record_recv()' is guarranteed not to block. *Returns:* Returns the size of the data or zero. `INT *note gnutls_record_get_direction:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION)' Once a TLS or DTLS session is no longer needed, it is recommended to use *note gnutls_bye:: to terminate the session. That way the peer is notified securely about the intention of termination, which allows distinguishing it from a malicious connection termination. A session can be deinitialized with the *note gnutls_deinit:: function. -- Function: int gnutls_bye (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_close_request_t HOW) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. HOW: is an integer Terminates the current TLS/SSL connection. The connection should have been initiated using `gnutls_handshake()' . `how' should be one of `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' , `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' . In case of `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' the TLS session gets terminated and further receives and sends will be disallowed. If the return value is zero you may continue using the underlying transport layer. `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' sends an alert containing a close request and waits for the peer to reply with the same message. In case of `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' the TLS session gets terminated and further sends will be disallowed. In order to reuse the connection you should wait for an EOF from the peer. `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' sends an alert containing a close request. Note that not all implementations will properly terminate a TLS connection. Some of them, usually for performance reasons, will terminate only the underlying transport layer, and thus not distinguishing between a malicious party prematurely terminating the connection and normal termination. This function may also return `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' or `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' ; cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code, see function documentation for entire semantics. -- Function: void gnutls_deinit (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function clears all buffers associated with the `session' . This function will also remove session data from the session database if the session was terminated abnormally.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Buffered data transfer, Next: Handling alerts, Prev: Data transfer and termination, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.8 Buffered data transfer ========================== Although *note gnutls_record_send:: is sufficient to transmit data to the peer, when many small chunks of data are to be transmitted it is inefficient and wastes bandwidth due to the TLS record overhead. In that case it is preferrable to combine the small chunks before transmission. The following functions provide that functionality. -- Function: void gnutls_record_cork (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. If called `gnutls_record_send()' will no longer send partial records. All queued records will be sent when `gnutls_uncork()' is called, or when the maximum record size is reached. *Since:* 3.1.9 -- Function: int gnutls_record_uncork (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int FLAGS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. FLAGS: Could be zero or `GNUTLS_RECORD_WAIT' This resets the effect of `gnutls_cork()' , and flushes any pending data. If the `GNUTLS_RECORD_WAIT' flag is specified then this function will block until the data is sent or a fatal error occurs (i.e., the function will retry on `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' and `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' ). *Returns:* On success the number of transmitted data is returned, or otherwise a negative error code. *Since:* 3.1.9  File: gnutls.info, Node: Handling alerts, Next: Priority Strings, Prev: Buffered data transfer, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.9 Handling alerts =================== During a TLS connection alert messages may be exchanged by the two peers. Those messages may be fatal, meaning the connection must be terminated afterwards, or warning when something needs to be reported to the peer, but without interrupting the session. The error codes `GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED' or `GNUTLS_E_FATAL_ALERT_RECEIVED' signal those alerts when received, and may be returned by all GnuTLS functions that receive data from the peer, being *note gnutls_handshake:: and *note gnutls_record_recv::. If those error codes are received the alert and its level should be logged or reported to the peer using the functions below. -- Function: gnutls_alert_description_t gnutls_alert_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function will return the last alert number received. This function should be called when `GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED' or `GNUTLS_E_FATAL_ALERT_RECEIVED' errors are returned by a gnutls function. The peer may send alerts if he encounters an error. If no alert has been received the returned value is undefined. *Returns:* the last alert received, a `gnutls_alert_description_t' value. -- Function: const char * gnutls_alert_get_name (gnutls_alert_description_t ALERT) ALERT: is an alert number. This function will return a string that describes the given alert number, or `NULL' . See `gnutls_alert_get()' . *Returns:* string corresponding to `gnutls_alert_description_t' value. The peer may also be warned or notified of a fatal issue by using one of the functions below. All the available alerts are listed in *note The Alert Protocol::. -- Function: int gnutls_alert_send (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_alert_level_t LEVEL, gnutls_alert_description_t DESC) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. LEVEL: is the level of the alert DESC: is the alert description This function will send an alert to the peer in order to inform him of something important (eg. his Certificate could not be verified). If the alert level is Fatal then the peer is expected to close the connection, otherwise he may ignore the alert and continue. The error code of the underlying record send function will be returned, so you may also receive `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' as well. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. -- Function: int gnutls_error_to_alert (int ERR, int * LEVEL) ERR: is a negative integer LEVEL: the alert level will be stored there Get an alert depending on the error code returned by a gnutls function. All alerts sent by this function should be considered fatal. The only exception is when `err' is `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' , where a warning alert should be sent to the peer indicating that no renegotiation will be performed. If there is no mapping to a valid alert the alert to indicate internal error is returned. *Returns:* the alert code to use for a particular error code.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Priority Strings, Next: Selecting cryptographic key sizes, Prev: Handling alerts, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.10 Priority strings ===================== In order to specify cipher suite preferences on a TLS session there are priority functions that accept a string specifying the enabled for the handshake algorithms. That string may contain a single initial keyword such as in *note tab:prio-keywords:: and may be followed by additional algorithm or special keywords. `INT *note gnutls_priority_set_direct:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const char * PRIORITIES, const char ** ERR_POS)' `INT *note gnutls_priority_set:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_priority_t PRIORITY)' Keyword Description ------------------------------------------------------------------ PERFORMANCE All the known to be secure ciphersuites are enabled, limited to 128 bit ciphers and sorted by terms of speed performance. The message authenticity security level is of 64 bits or more. NORMAL Means all the known to be secure ciphersuites. The ciphers are sorted by security margin, although the 256-bit ciphers are included as a fallback only. The message authenticity security level is of 64 bits or more. SECURE128 Means all known to be secure ciphersuites that offer a security level 128-bit or more and a message authenticity security level of 80 bits or more. SECURE192 Means all the known to be secure ciphersuites that offer a security level 192-bit or more and a message authenticity security level of 128 bits or more. SECURE256 Currently alias for SECURE192. SUITEB128 Means all the NSA Suite B cryptography (RFC5430) ciphersuites with an 128 bit security level. SUITEB192 Means all the NSA Suite B cryptography (RFC5430) ciphersuites with an 192 bit security level. EXPORT Means all ciphersuites are enabled, including the low-security 40 bit ciphers. NONE Means nothing is enabled. This disables even protocols and compression methods. It should be followed by the algorithms to be enabled. Table 6.2: Supported initial keywords. Unless the initial keyword is "NONE" the defaults (in preference order) are for TLS protocols TLS 1.2, TLS1.1, TLS1.0, SSL3.0; for compression NULL; for certificate types X.509. In key exchange algorithms when in NORMAL or SECURE levels the perfect forward secrecy algorithms take precedence of the other protocols. In all cases all the supported key exchange algorithms are enabled(1). Note that the SECURE levels distinguish between overall security level and message authenticity security level. That is because the message authenticity security level requires the adversary to break the algorithms at real-time during the protocol run, whilst the overall security level refers to off-line adversaries (e.g. adversaries breaking the ciphertext years after it was captured). The NONE keyword, if used, must followed by keywords specifying the algorithms and protocols to be enabled. The other initial keywords do not require, but may be followed by such keywords. All level keywords can be combined, and for example a level of "SECURE256:+SECURE128" is allowed. The order with which every algorithm or protocol is specified is significant. Algorithms specified before others will take precedence. The supported algorithms and protocols are shown in *note tab:prio-algorithms::. To avoid collisions in order to specify a compression algorithm in the priority string you have to prefix it with "COMP-", protocol versions with "VERS-", signature algorithms with "SIGN-" and certificate types with "CTYPE-". All other algorithms don't need a prefix. Each specified keyword can be prefixed with any of the following characters. '!' or '-' appended with an algorithm will remove this algorithm. "+" appended with an algorithm will add this algorithm. Type Keywords ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ciphers AES-128-CBC, AES-256-CBC, AES-128-GCM, CAMELLIA-128-CBC, CAMELLIA-256-CBC, ARCFOUR-128, 3DES-CBC ARCFOUR-40. Catch all name is CIPHER-ALL which will add all the algorithms from NORMAL priority. Key exchange RSA, DHE-RSA, DHE-DSS, SRP, SRP-RSA, SRP-DSS, PSK, DHE-PSK, ECDHE-RSA, ANON-ECDH, ANON-DH, RSA-EXPORT. The Catch all name is KX-ALL which will add all the algorithms from NORMAL priority. MAC MD5, SHA1, SHA256, AEAD (used with GCM ciphers only). All algorithms from NORMAL priority can be accessed with MAC-ALL. Compression COMP-NULL, COMP-DEFLATE. Catch all is COMP-ALL. algorithms TLS versions VERS-SSL3.0, VERS-TLS1.0, VERS-TLS1.1, VERS-TLS1.2, VERS-DTLS1.0. Catch all is VERS-TLS-ALL. Signature SIGN-RSA-SHA1, SIGN-RSA-SHA224, SIGN-RSA-SHA256, algorithms SIGN-RSA-SHA384, SIGN-RSA-SHA512, SIGN-DSA-SHA1, SIGN-DSA-SHA224, SIGN-DSA-SHA256, SIGN-RSA-MD5. Catch all is SIGN-ALL. This is only valid for TLS 1.2 and later. Elliptic CURVE-SECP192R1, CURVE-SECP224R1, curves CURVE-SECP256R1, CURVE-SECP384R1, CURVE-SECP521R1. Catch all is CURVE-ALL. Table 6.3: The supported algorithm keywords in priority strings. Note that the DHE key exchange methods are generally slower(2) than their elliptic curves counterpart (ECDHE). Moreover the plain Diffie-Hellman key exchange requires parameters to be generated and associated with a credentials structure by the server (see *note Parameter generation::). The available special keywords are shown in *note tab:prio-special1:: and *note tab:prio-special2::. Keyword Description ------------------------------------------------------------------ %COMPAT will enable compatibility mode. It might mean that violations of the protocols are allowed as long as maximum compatibility with problematic clients and servers is achieved. More specifically this string would disable TLS record random padding and tolerate packets over the maximum allowed TLS record. %NO_EXTENSIONS will prevent the sending of any TLS extensions in client side. Note that TLS 1.2 requires extensions to be used, as well as safe renegotiation thus this option must be used with care. %SERVER_PRECEDENCE The ciphersuite will be selected according to server priorities and not the client's. %SSL3_RECORD_VERSION will use SSL3.0 record version in client hello. This is the default. %LATEST_RECORD_VERSION will use the latest TLS version record version in client hello. Table 6.4: Special priority string keywords. Keyword Description ------------------------------------------------------------------ %STATELESS_COMPRESSION will disable keeping state across records when compressing. This may help to mitigate attacks when compression is used but an attacker is in control of input data. This has to be used only when the data that are possibly controlled by an attacker are placed in separate records. %DISABLE_SAFE_RENEGOTIATION will completely disable safe renegotiation completely. Do not use unless you know what you are doing. %UNSAFE_RENEGOTIATION will allow handshakes and re-handshakes without the safe renegotiation extension. Note that for clients this mode is insecure (you may be under attack), and for servers it will allow insecure clients to connect (which could be fooled by an attacker). Do not use unless you know what you are doing and want maximum compatibility. %PARTIAL_RENEGOTIATION will allow initial handshakes to proceed, but not re-handshakes. This leaves the client vulnerable to attack, and servers will be compatible with non-upgraded clients for initial handshakes. This is currently the default for clients and servers, for compatibility reasons. %SAFE_RENEGOTIATION will enforce safe renegotiation. Clients and servers will refuse to talk to an insecure peer. Currently this causes interoperability problems, but is required for full protection. %VERIFY_ALLOW_SIGN_RSA_MD5 will allow RSA-MD5 signatures in certificate chains. %VERIFY_DISABLE_CRL_CHECKS will disable CRL or OCSP checks in the verification of the certificate chain. %VERIFY_ALLOW_X509_V1_CA_CRT will allow V1 CAs in chains. Table 6.5: More priority string keywords. Finally the ciphersuites enabled by any priority string can be listed using the `gnutls-cli' application (see *note gnutls-cli Invocation::), or by using the priority functions as in *note Listing the ciphersuites in a priority string::. Example priority strings are: The default priority without the HMAC-MD5: "NORMAL:-MD5" Specifying RSA with AES-128-CBC: "NONE:+VERS-TLS-ALL:+MAC-ALL:+RSA:+AES-128-CBC:+SIGN-ALL:+COMP-NULL" Specifying the defaults except ARCFOUR-128: "NORMAL:-ARCFOUR-128" Enabling the 128-bit secure ciphers, while disabling SSL 3.0 and enabling compression: "SECURE128:-VERS-SSL3.0:+COMP-DEFLATE" Enabling the 128-bit and 192-bit secure ciphers, while disabling all TLS versions except TLS 1.2: "SECURE128:+SECURE192:-VERS-TLS-ALL:+VERS-TLS1.2" ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) Except for the RSA-EXPORT which is only enabled in EXPORT level. (2) It depends on the group used. Primes with lesser bits are always faster, but also easier to break. See *note Selecting cryptographic key sizes:: for the acceptable security levels.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Selecting cryptographic key sizes, Next: Advanced topics, Prev: Priority Strings, Up: How to use GnuTLS in applications 6.11 Selecting cryptographic key sizes ====================================== Because many algorithms are involved in TLS, it is not easy to set a consistent security level. For this reason in *note tab:key-sizes:: we present some correspondence between key sizes of symmetric algorithms and public key algorithms based on [_ECRYPT_]. Those can be used to generate certificates with appropriate key sizes as well as select parameters for Diffie-Hellman and SRP authentication. SecurityRSA, DH ECC Security Description bits and SRP key parameter parameter size size ----------------------------------------------------------------- <72 <1008 <160 `INSECURE' Considered to be insecure 72 1008 160 `WEAK' Short term protection against small organizations 80 1248 160 `LOW' Very short term protection against agencies 96 1776 192 `LEGACY' Legacy standard level 112 2432 224 `NORMAL' Medium-term protection 128 3248 256 `HIGH' Long term protection 256 15424 512 `ULTRA' Foreseeable future Table 6.6: Key sizes and security parameters. The first column provides a security parameter in a number of bits. This gives an indication of the number of combinations to be tried by an adversary to brute force a key. For example to test all possible keys in a 112 bit security parameter 2^112 combinations have to be tried. For today's technology this is infeasible. The next two columns correlate the security parameter with actual bit sizes of parameters for DH, RSA, SRP and ECC algorithms. A mapping to `gnutls_sec_param_t' value is given for each security parameter, on the next column, and finally a brief description of the level. Note, however, that the values suggested here are nothing more than an educated guess that is valid today. There are no guarantees that an algorithm will remain unbreakable or that these values will remain constant in time. There could be scientific breakthroughs that cannot be predicted or total failure of the current public key systems by quantum computers. On the other hand though the cryptosystems used in TLS are selected in a conservative way and such catastrophic breakthroughs or failures are believed to be unlikely. The NIST publication SP 800-57 [_NISTSP80057_] contains a similar table. When using GnuTLS and a decision on bit sizes for a public key algorithm is required, use of the following functions is recommended: -- Function: unsigned int gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits (gnutls_pk_algorithm_t ALGO, gnutls_sec_param_t PARAM) ALGO: is a public key algorithm PARAM: is a security parameter When generating private and public key pairs a difficult question is which size of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size in DSA. The easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong.

Given an algorithm and the number of bits, it will return the security parameter.

To reduce time and roundtrips spent in a handshake the client can request session resumption from a server that previously shared a session with. For that the client has to retrieve and store the session parameters. Before establishing a new session to the same server the parameters must be re-associated with the GnuTLS session using *note gnutls_session_set_data::. `INT *note gnutls_session_get_data2:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * DATA)' `INT *note gnutls_session_get_id2:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * SESSION_ID)' `INT *note gnutls_session_set_data:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const void * SESSION_DATA, size_t SESSION_DATA_SIZE)' Keep in mind that sessions will be expired after some time, depending on the server, and a server may choose not to resume a session even when requested to. The expiration is to prevent temporal session keys from becoming long-term keys. Also note that as a client you must enable, using the priority functions, at least the algorithms used in the last session. -- Function: int gnutls_session_is_resumed (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Check whether session is resumed or not. *Returns:* non zero if this session is resumed, or a zero if this is a new session. Server side ........... In order to support resumption a server can store the session security parameters in a local database or by using session tickets (see *note Session tickets::) to delegate storage to the client. Because session tickets might not be supported by all clients, servers could combine the two methods. A storing server needs to specify callback functions to store, retrieve and delete session data. These can be registered with the functions below. The stored sessions in the database can be checked using *note gnutls_db_check_entry:: for expiration. `VOID *note gnutls_db_set_retrieve_function:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_db_retr_func RETR_FUNC)' `VOID *note gnutls_db_set_store_function:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_db_store_func STORE_FUNC)' `VOID *note gnutls_db_set_ptr:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * PTR)' `VOID *note gnutls_db_set_remove_function:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_db_remove_func REM_FUNC)' `INT *note gnutls_db_check_entry:: (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t SESSION_ENTRY)' A server utilizing tickets should generate ticket encryption and authentication keys using *note gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate::. Those keys should be associated with the GnuTLS session using *note gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server::. -- Function: int gnutls_session_ticket_enable_server (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const gnutls_datum_t * KEY) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. KEY: key to encrypt session parameters. Request that the server should attempt session resumption using SessionTicket. `key' must be initialized with `gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate()' . *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, or an error code. *Since:* 2.10.0 -- Function: int gnutls_session_ticket_key_generate (gnutls_datum_t * KEY) KEY: is a pointer to a `gnutls_datum_t' which will contain a newly created key. Generate a random key to encrypt security parameters within SessionTicket. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, or an error code. *Since:* 2.10.0 -- Function: int gnutls_session_resumption_requested (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Check whether the client has asked for session resumption. This function is valid only on server side. *Returns:* non zero if session resumption was asked, or a zero if not. A server enabling both session tickets and a storage for session data would use session tickets when clients support it and the storage otherwise.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Certificate verification, Next: Parameter generation, Prev: Session resumption, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.2 Certificate verification ------------------------------- In this section the functionality for additional certificate verification methods is listed. These methods are intended to be used in addition to normal PKI verification, in order to reduce the risk of a compromised CA being undetected. 6.12.2.1 Trust on first use ........................... The GnuTLS library includes functionlity to use an SSH-like trust on first use authentication. The available functions to store and verify public keys are listed below. -- Function: int gnutls_verify_stored_pubkey (const char* DB_NAME, gnutls_tdb_t TDB, const char* HOST, const char* SERVICE, gnutls_certificate_type_t CERT_TYPE, const gnutls_datum_t * CERT, unsigned int FLAGS) DB_NAME: A file specifying the stored keys (use NULL for the default) TDB: A storage structure or NULL to use the default HOST: The peer's name SERVICE: non-NULL if this key is specific to a service (e.g. http) CERT_TYPE: The type of the certificate CERT: The raw (der) data of the certificate FLAGS: should be 0. This function will try to verify the provided certificate using a list of stored public keys. The `service' field if non-NULL should be a port number. The `retrieve' variable if non-null specifies a custom backend for the retrieval of entries. If it is NULL then the default file backend will be used. In POSIX-like systems the file backend uses the $HOME/.gnutls/known_hosts file. Note that if the custom storage backend is provided the retrieval function should return `GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_KEY_MISMATCH' if the host/service pair is found but key doesn't match, `GNUTLS_E_NO_CERTIFICATE_FOUND' if no such host/service with the given key is found, and 0 if it was found. The storage function should return 0 on success. *Returns:* If no associated public key is found then `GNUTLS_E_NO_CERTIFICATE_FOUND' will be returned. If a key is found but does not match `GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_KEY_MISMATCH' is returned. On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, or a negative error value on other errors. *Since:* 3.0 -- Function: int gnutls_store_pubkey (const char* DB_NAME, gnutls_tdb_t TDB, const char* HOST, const char* SERVICE, gnutls_certificate_type_t CERT_TYPE, const gnutls_datum_t * CERT, time_t EXPIRATION, unsigned int FLAGS) DB_NAME: A file specifying the stored keys (use NULL for the default) TDB: A storage structure or NULL to use the default HOST: The peer's name SERVICE: non-NULL if this key is specific to a service (e.g. http) CERT_TYPE: The type of the certificate CERT: The data of the certificate EXPIRATION: The expiration time (use 0 to disable expiration) FLAGS: should be 0. This function will store the provided certificate to the list of stored public keys. The key will be considered valid until the provided expiration time. The `store' variable if non-null specifies a custom backend for the storage of entries. If it is NULL then the default file backend will be used. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. *Since:* 3.0 In addition to the above the *note gnutls_store_commitment:: can be used to implement a key-pinning architecture as in [_KEYPIN_]. This provides a way for web server to commit on a public key that is not yet active. -- Function: int gnutls_store_commitment (const char* DB_NAME, gnutls_tdb_t TDB, const char* HOST, const char* SERVICE, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t HASH_ALGO, const gnutls_datum_t* HASH, time_t EXPIRATION, unsigned int FLAGS) DB_NAME: A file specifying the stored keys (use NULL for the default) TDB: A storage structure or NULL to use the default HOST: The peer's name SERVICE: non-NULL if this key is specific to a service (e.g. http) HASH_ALGO: The hash algorithm type HASH: The raw hash EXPIRATION: The expiration time (use 0 to disable expiration) FLAGS: should be 0. This function will store the provided hash commitment to the list of stored public keys. The key with the given hash will be considered valid until the provided expiration time. The `store' variable if non-null specifies a custom backend for the storage of entries. If it is NULL then the default file backend will be used. Note that this function is not thread safe with the default backend. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. *Since:* 3.0 The storage and verification functions may be used with the default text file based back-end, or another back-end may be specified. That should contain storage and retrieval functions and specified as below. `INT *note gnutls_tdb_init:: (gnutls_tdb_t* TDB)' `VOID *note gnutls_tdb_deinit:: (gnutls_tdb_t TDB)' `VOID *note gnutls_tdb_set_verify_func:: (gnutls_tdb_t TDB, gnutls_tdb_verify_func VERIFY)' `VOID *note gnutls_tdb_set_store_func:: (gnutls_tdb_t TDB, gnutls_tdb_store_func STORE)' `VOID *note gnutls_tdb_set_store_commitment_func:: (gnutls_tdb_t TDB, gnutls_tdb_store_commitment_func CSTORE)' 6.12.2.2 DANE verification .......................... Since the DANE library is not included in GnuTLS it requires programs to be linked against it. This can be achieved with the following commands. gcc -o foo foo.c `pkg-config gnutls-dane --cflags --libs` When a program uses the GNU autoconf system, then the following line or similar can be used to detect the presence of the library. PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBDANE], [gnutls-dane >= 3.0.0]) AC_SUBST([LIBDANE_CFLAGS]) AC_SUBST([LIBDANE_LIBS]) The high level functionality provided by the DANE library is shown below. -- Function: int dane_verify_crt (dane_state_t S, const gnutls_datum_t * CHAIN, unsigned CHAIN_SIZE, gnutls_certificate_type_t CHAIN_TYPE, const char * HOSTNAME, const char* PROTO, unsigned int PORT, unsigned int SFLAGS, unsigned int VFLAGS, unsigned int * VERIFY) S: A DANE state structure (may be NULL) CHAIN: A certificate chain CHAIN_SIZE: The size of the chain CHAIN_TYPE: The type of the certificate chain HOSTNAME: The hostname associated with the chain PROTO: The protocol of the service connecting (e.g. tcp) PORT: The port of the service connecting (e.g. 443) SFLAGS: Flags for the the initialization of `s' (if NULL) VFLAGS: Verification flags; an OR'ed list of `dane_verify_flags_t' . VERIFY: An OR'ed list of `dane_verify_status_t' . This function will verify the given certificate chain against the CA constrains and/or the certificate available via DANE. If no information via DANE can be obtained the flag `DANE_VERIFY_NO_DANE_INFO' is set. If a DNSSEC signature is not available for the DANE record then the verify flag `DANE_VERIFY_NO_DNSSEC_DATA' is set. Note that the CA constraint only applies for the directly certifying CA and does not account for long CA chains. Due to the many possible options of DANE, there is no single threat model countered. When notifying the user about DANE verification results it may be better to mention: DANE verification did not reject the certificate, rather than mentioning a successful DANE verication. If the `q' parameter is provided it will be used for caching entries. *Returns:* On success, `DANE_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value. `INT *note dane_verify_session_crt:: (dane_state_t S, gnutls_session_t SESSION, const char * HOSTNAME, const char* PROTO, unsigned int PORT, unsigned int SFLAGS, unsigned int VFLAGS, unsigned int * VERIFY)' `CONST CHAR * *note dane_strerror:: (int ERROR)' Note that the `dane_state_t' structure that is accepted by both verification functions is optional. It is required when many queries are performed to facilitate caching. The following flags are returned by the verify functions to indicate the status of the verification. `DANE_VERIFY_CA_CONSTRAINS_VIOLATED' The CA constrains was violated. `DANE_VERIFY_CERT_DIFFERS' The certificate obtained via DNS differs. `DANE_VERIFY_NO_DANE_INFO' No DANE data were found in the DNS record. Figure 6.2: The DANE verification status flags. In order to generate a DANE TLSA entry to use in a DNS server you may use danetool (see *note danetool Invocation::).  File: gnutls.info, Node: Parameter generation, Next: Keying Material Exporters, Prev: Certificate verification, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.3 Parameter generation --------------------------- Several TLS ciphersuites require additional parameters that need to be generated or provided by the application. The Diffie-Hellman based ciphersuites (ANON-DH or DHE), require the group parameters to be provided. Those can either be be generated on the fly using *note gnutls_dh_params_generate2:: or imported from pregenerated data using *note gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3::. The parameters can be used in a TLS session by calling *note gnutls_certificate_set_dh_params:: or *note gnutls_anon_set_server_dh_params:: for anonymous sessions. `INT *note gnutls_dh_params_generate2:: (gnutls_dh_params_t PARAMS, unsigned int BITS)' `INT *note gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3:: (gnutls_dh_params_t PARAMS, const gnutls_datum_t * PKCS3_PARAMS, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t FORMAT)' `VOID *note gnutls_certificate_set_dh_params:: (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_dh_params_t DH_PARAMS)' `VOID *note gnutls_anon_set_server_dh_params:: (gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t RES, gnutls_dh_params_t DH_PARAMS)' Due to the time-consuming calculations required for the generation of Diffie-Hellman parameters we suggest against performing generation of them within an application. The `certtool' tool can be used to generate or export known safe values that can be stored in code or in a configuration file to provide the ability to replace. We also recommend the usage of *note gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits:: (see *note Selecting cryptographic key sizes::) to determine the bit size of the generated parameters. Note that the information stored in the generated PKCS #3 structure changed with GnuTLS 3.0.9. Since that version the `privateValueLength' member of the structure is set, allowing the server utilizing the parameters to use keys of the size of the security parameter. This provides better performance in key exchange. The ciphersuites that involve the RSA-EXPORT key exchange require additional parameters. Those ciphersuites are rarely used today because they are by design insecure, thus if you have no requirement for them, the rest of this section can be skipped. The RSA-EXPORT key exchange requires 512-bit RSA keys to be generated. It is recommended those parameters to be refreshed (regenerated) in short intervals. The following functions can be used for these parameters. `INT *note gnutls_rsa_params_generate2:: (gnutls_rsa_params_t PARAMS, unsigned int BITS)' `VOID *note gnutls_certificate_set_rsa_export_params:: (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_rsa_params_t RSA_PARAMS)' `INT *note gnutls_rsa_params_import_pkcs1:: (gnutls_rsa_params_t PARAMS, const gnutls_datum_t * PKCS1_PARAMS, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t FORMAT)' `INT *note gnutls_rsa_params_export_pkcs1:: (gnutls_rsa_params_t PARAMS, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t FORMAT, unsigned char * PARAMS_DATA, size_t * PARAMS_DATA_SIZE)' To allow renewal of the parameters within an application without accessing the credentials, which are a shared structure, an alternative interface is available using a callback function. -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_params_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_params_function * FUNC) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure FUNC: is the function to be called This function will set a callback in order for the server to get the Diffie-Hellman or RSA parameters for certificate authentication. The callback should return `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) on success.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Keying Material Exporters, Next: Channel Bindings, Prev: Parameter generation, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.4 Keying material exporters -------------------------------- The TLS PRF can be used by other protocols to derive keys based on the TLS master secret. The API to use is *note gnutls_prf::. The function needs to be provided with the label in the parameter `label', and the extra data to mix in the `extra' parameter. Depending on whether you want to mix in the client or server random data first, you can set the `server_random_first' parameter. For example, after establishing a TLS session using *note gnutls_handshake::, you can invoke the TLS PRF with this call: #define MYLABEL "EXPORTER-FOO" #define MYCONTEXT "some context data" char out[32]; rc = gnutls_prf (session, strlen (MYLABEL), MYLABEL, 0, strlen (MYCONTEXT), MYCONTEXT, 32, out); If you don't want to mix in the client/server random, there is a low-level TLS PRF interface called *note gnutls_prf_raw::.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Channel Bindings, Next: Interoperability, Prev: Keying Material Exporters, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.5 Channel bindings ----------------------- In user authentication protocols (e.g., EAP or SASL mechanisms) it is useful to have a unique string that identifies the secure channel that is used, to bind together the user authentication with the secure channel. This can protect against man-in-the-middle attacks in some situations. That unique string is called a "channel binding". For background and discussion see [_RFC5056_]. In GnuTLS you can extract a channel binding using the *note gnutls_session_channel_binding:: function. Currently only the type `GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE' is supported, which corresponds to the `tls-unique' channel binding for TLS defined in [_RFC5929_]. The following example describes how to print the channel binding data. Note that it must be run after a successful TLS handshake. { gnutls_datum_t cb; int rc; rc = gnutls_session_channel_binding (session, GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE, &cb); if (rc) fprintf (stderr, "Channel binding error: %s\n", gnutls_strerror (rc)); else { size_t i; printf ("- Channel binding 'tls-unique': "); for (i = 0; i < cb.size; i++) printf ("%02x", cb.data[i]); printf ("\n"); } }  File: gnutls.info, Node: Interoperability, Next: Compatibility with the OpenSSL library, Prev: Channel Bindings, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.6 Interoperability ----------------------- The TLS protocols support many ciphersuites, extensions and version numbers. As a result, few implementations are not able to properly interoperate once faced with extensions or version protocols they do not support and understand. The TLS protocol allows for a graceful downgrade to the commonly supported options, but practice shows it is not always implemented correctly. Because there is no way to achieve maximum interoperability with broken peers without sacrificing security, GnuTLS ignores such peers by default. This might not be acceptable in cases where maximum compatibility is required. Thus we allow enabling compatibility with broken peers using priority strings (see *note Priority Strings::). A conservative priority string that would disable certain TLS protocol options that are known to cause compatibility problems, is shown below. NORMAL:%COMPAT For broken peers that do not tolerate TLS version numbers over TLS 1.0 another priority string is: NORMAL:-VERS-TLS-ALL:+VERS-TLS1.0:+VERS-SSL3.0:%COMPAT This priority string will in addition to above, only enable SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 as protocols. Note however that there are known attacks against those protocol versions, especially over the CBC-mode ciphersuites. To mitigate them another priority string that only allows the stream cipher ARCFOUR is below. NORMAL:-VERS-TLS-ALL:+VERS-TLS1.0:+VERS-SSL3.0:-CIPHER-ALL:+ARCFOUR-128:%COMPAT  File: gnutls.info, Node: Compatibility with the OpenSSL library, Prev: Interoperability, Up: Advanced topics 6.12.7 Compatibility with the OpenSSL library --------------------------------------------- To ease GnuTLS' integration with existing applications, a compatibility layer with the OpenSSL library is included in the `gnutls-openssl' library. This compatibility layer is not complete and it is not intended to completely re-implement the OpenSSL API with GnuTLS. It only provides limited source-level compatibility. The prototypes for the compatibility functions are in the `gnutls/openssl.h' header file. The limitations imposed by the compatibility layer include: * Error handling is not thread safe.

If a priority string is given then only the enabled ciphersuites are shown. gnutls-serv exit status ----------------------- One of the following exit values will be returned: `0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)' Successful program execution. `1 (EXIT_FAILURE)' The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid. gnutls-serv See Also -------------------- gnutls-cli-debug(1), gnutls-cli(1) gnutls-serv Examples -------------------- Running your own TLS server based on GnuTLS can be useful when debugging clients and/or GnuTLS itself. This section describes how to use `gnutls-serv' as a simple HTTPS server. The most basic server can be started as: gnutls-serv --http It will only support anonymous ciphersuites, which many TLS clients refuse to use. The next step is to add support for X.509. First we generate a CA: $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-ca-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test CA' > ca.tmpl $ echo 'ca' >> ca.tmpl $ echo 'cert_signing_key' >> ca.tmpl $ certtool --generate-self-signed --load-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template ca.tmpl --outfile x509-ca.pem ... Then generate a server certificate. Remember to change the dns_name value to the name of your server host, or skip that command to avoid the field. $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-server-key.pem $ echo 'organization = GnuTLS test server' > server.tmpl $ echo 'cn = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'tls_www_server' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'encryption_key' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'signing_key' >> server.tmpl $ echo 'dns_name = test.gnutls.org' >> server.tmpl $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server.pem ... For use in the client, you may want to generate a client certificate as well. $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-client-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client' > client.tmpl $ echo 'tls_www_client' >> client.tmpl $ echo 'encryption_key' >> client.tmpl $ echo 'signing_key' >> client.tmpl $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template client.tmpl --outfile x509-client.pem ... To be able to import the client key/certificate into some applications, you will need to convert them into a PKCS#12 structure. This also encrypts the security sensitive key with a password. $ certtool --to-p12 --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem \ --load-privkey x509-client-key.pem --load-certificate x509-client.pem \ --outder --outfile x509-client.p12 For icing, we'll create a proxy certificate for the client too. $ certtool --generate-privkey > x509-proxy-key.pem $ echo 'cn = GnuTLS test client proxy' > proxy.tmpl $ certtool --generate-proxy --load-privkey x509-proxy-key.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-client.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-client-key.pem \ --load-certificate x509-client.pem --template proxy.tmpl \ --outfile x509-proxy.pem ... Then start the server again: $ gnutls-serv --http \ --x509cafile x509-ca.pem \ --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem \ --x509certfile x509-server.pem Try connecting to the server using your web browser. Note that the server listens to port 5556 by default. While you are at it, to allow connections using DSA, you can also create a DSA key and certificate for the server. These credentials will be used in the final example below. $ certtool --generate-privkey --dsa > x509-server-key-dsa.pem $ certtool --generate-certificate --load-privkey x509-server-key-dsa.pem \ --load-ca-certificate x509-ca.pem --load-ca-privkey x509-ca-key.pem \ --template server.tmpl --outfile x509-server-dsa.pem ... The next step is to create OpenPGP credentials for the server. gpg --gen-key ...enter whatever details you want, use 'test.gnutls.org' as name... Make a note of the OpenPGP key identifier of the newly generated key, here it was `5D1D14D8'. You will need to export the key for GnuTLS to be able to use it. gpg -a --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.txt gpg --export 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server.bin gpg --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.bin gpg -a --export-secret-keys 5D1D14D8 > openpgp-server-key.txt Let's start the server with support for OpenPGP credentials: gnutls-serv --http \ --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt \ --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt The next step is to add support for SRP authentication. This requires an SRP password file created with `srptool'. To start the server with SRP support: gnutls-serv --http \ --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf \ --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt Let's also start a server with support for PSK. This would require a password file created with `psktool'. gnutls-serv --http \ --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt Finally, we start the server with all the earlier parameters and you get this command: gnutls-serv --http \ --x509cafile x509-ca.pem \ --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem \ --x509certfile x509-server.pem \ --x509dsakeyfile x509-server-key-dsa.pem \ --x509dsacertfile x509-server-dsa.pem \ --pgpkeyfile openpgp-server-key.txt \ --pgpcertfile openpgp-server.txt \ --srppasswdconf srp-tpasswd.conf \ --srppasswd srp-passwd.txt \ --pskpasswd psk-passwd.txt  File: gnutls.info, Node: gnutls-cli-debug Invocation, Prev: gnutls-serv Invocation, Up: Other included programs 9.3 Invoking gnutls-cli-debug ============================= TLS debug client.

The focus is to give an idea to potential developers and those who want to know what happens inside the black box. * Menu: * The TLS Protocol:: * TLS Handshake Protocol:: * TLS Authentication Methods:: * TLS Extension Handling:: * Cryptographic Backend::  File: gnutls.info, Node: The TLS Protocol, Next: TLS Handshake Protocol, Up: Internal architecture of GnuTLS 10.1 The TLS Protocol ===================== The main use case for the TLS protocol is shown in *note fig:client-server::. A user of a library implementing the protocol expects no less than this functionality, i.e., to be able to set parameters such as the accepted security level, perform a negotiation with the peer and be able to exchange data. [image src="gnutls-client-server-use-case.png"] Figure 10.1: TLS protocol use case.  File: gnutls.info, Node: TLS Handshake Protocol, Next: TLS Authentication Methods, Prev: The TLS Protocol, Up: Internal architecture of GnuTLS 10.2 TLS Handshake Protocol =========================== The GnuTLS handshake protocol is implemented as a state machine that waits for input or returns immediately when the non-blocking transport layer functions are used. The main idea is shown in *note fig:gnutls-handshake::. [image src="gnutls-handshake-state.png"] Figure 10.2: GnuTLS handshake state machine. Also the way the input is processed varies per ciphersuite. Several implementations of the internal handlers are available and *note gnutls_handshake:: only multiplexes the input to the appropriate handler. For example a PSK ciphersuite has a different implementation of the `process_client_key_exchange' than a certificate ciphersuite. We illustrate the idea in *note fig:gnutls-handshake-sequence::. [image src="gnutls-handshake-sequence.png"] Figure 10.3: GnuTLS handshake process sequence.  File: gnutls.info, Node: TLS Authentication Methods, Next: TLS Extension Handling, Prev: TLS Handshake Protocol, Up: Internal architecture of GnuTLS 10.3 TLS Authentication Methods =============================== In GnuTLS authentication methods can be implemented quite easily. Since the required changes to add a new authentication method affect only the handshake protocol, a simple interface is used. An authentication method needs to implement the functions shown below. typedef struct { const char *name; int (*gnutls_generate_server_certificate) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st*); int (*gnutls_generate_client_certificate) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st*); int (*gnutls_generate_server_kx) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st*); int (*gnutls_generate_client_kx) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st*); int (*gnutls_generate_client_cert_vrfy) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st *); int (*gnutls_generate_server_certificate_request) (gnutls_session_t, gnutls_buffer_st *); int (*gnutls_process_server_certificate) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); int (*gnutls_process_client_certificate) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); int (*gnutls_process_server_kx) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); int (*gnutls_process_client_kx) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); int (*gnutls_process_client_cert_vrfy) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); int (*gnutls_process_server_certificate_request) (gnutls_session_t, opaque *, size_t); } mod_auth_st; Those functions are responsible for the interpretation of the handshake protocol messages. It is common for such functions to read data from one or more `credentials_t' structures(1) and write data, such as certificates, usernames etc. to `auth_info_t' structures. Simple examples of existing authentication methods can be seen in `auth/psk.c' for PSK ciphersuites and `auth/srp.c' for SRP ciphersuites. After implementing these functions the structure holding its pointers has to be registered in `gnutls_algorithms.c' in the `_gnutls_kx_algorithms' structure. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) such as the `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structures  File: gnutls.info, Node: TLS Extension Handling, Next: Cryptographic Backend, Prev: TLS Authentication Methods, Up: Internal architecture of GnuTLS 10.4 TLS Extension Handling =========================== As with authentication methods, the TLS extensions handlers can be implemented using the interface shown below. typedef int (*gnutls_ext_recv_func) (gnutls_session_t session, const unsigned char *data, size_t len); typedef int (*gnutls_ext_send_func) (gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_buffer_st *extdata); Here there are two functions, one for receiving the extension data and one for sending. These functions have to check internally whether they operate in client or server side. A simple example of an extension handler can be seen in `ext/srp.c' in GnuTLS' source code. After implementing these functions, together with the extension number they handle, they have to be registered using `_gnutls_ext_register' in `gnutls_extensions.c' typically within `_gnutls_ext_init'. Adding a new TLS extension -------------------------- Adding support for a new TLS extension is done from time to time, and the process to do so is not difficult. Here are the steps you need to follow if you wish to do this yourself. For sake of discussion, let's consider adding support for the hypothetical TLS extension `foobar'. Add `configure' option like `--enable-foobar' or `--disable-foobar'. .................................................................... This step is useful when the extension code is large and it might be desirable to disable the extension under some circumstances. Otherwise it can be safely skipped. Whether to chose enable or disable depends on whether you intend to make the extension be enabled by default. Look at existing checks (i.e., SRP, authz) for how to model the code. For example: AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether to disable foobar support]) AC_ARG_ENABLE(foobar, AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-foobar], [disable foobar support]), ac_enable_foobar=no) if test x$ac_enable_foobar != xno; then AC_MSG_RESULT(no) AC_DEFINE(ENABLE_FOOBAR, 1, [enable foobar]) else ac_full=0 AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) fi AM_CONDITIONAL(ENABLE_FOOBAR, test "$ac_enable_foobar" != "no") These lines should go in `m4/hooks.m4'. Add IANA extension value to `extensions_t' in `gnutls_int.h'. ............................................................. A good name for the value would be GNUTLS_EXTENSION_FOOBAR. Check with `http://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensiontype-values' for allocated values. For experiments, you could pick a number but remember that some consider it a bad idea to deploy such modified version since it will lead to interoperability problems in the future when the IANA allocates that number to someone else, or when the foobar protocol is allocated another number. Add an entry to `_gnutls_extensions' in `gnutls_extensions.c'. .............................................................. A typical entry would be: int ret; #if ENABLE_FOOBAR ret = _gnutls_ext_register (&foobar_ext); if (ret != GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS) return ret; #endif Most likely you'll need to add an `#include "ext/foobar.h"', that will contain something like like: extension_entry_st foobar_ext = { .name = "FOOBAR", .type = GNUTLS_EXTENSION_FOOBAR, .parse_type = GNUTLS_EXT_TLS, .recv_func = _foobar_recv_params, .send_func = _foobar_send_params, .pack_func = _foobar_pack, .unpack_func = _foobar_unpack, .deinit_func = NULL } The GNUTLS_EXTENSION_FOOBAR is the integer value you added to `gnutls_int.h' earlier. In this structure you specify the functions to read the extension from the hello message, the function to send the reply to, and two more functions to pack and unpack from stored session data (e.g. when resumming a session). The `deinit' function will be called to deinitialize the extension's private parameters, if any. Note that the conditional `ENABLE_FOOBAR' definition should only be used if step 1 with the `configure' options has taken place. Add new files that implement the extension. ........................................... The functions you are responsible to add are those mentioned in the previous step. They should be added in a file such as `ext/foobar.c' and headers should be placed in `ext/foobar.h'. As a starter, you could add this: int _foobar_recv_params (gnutls_session_t session, const opaque * data, size_t data_size) { return 0; } int _foobar_send_params (gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_buffer_st* data) { return 0; } int _foobar_pack (extension_priv_data_t epriv, gnutls_buffer_st * ps) { /* Append the extension's internal state to buffer */ return 0; } int _foobar_unpack (gnutls_buffer_st * ps, extension_priv_data_t * epriv) { /* Read the internal state from buffer */ return 0; } The `_foobar_recv_params' function is responsible for parsing incoming extension data (both in the client and server). The `_foobar_send_params' function is responsible for sending extension data (both in the client and server). If you receive length fields that don't match, return `GNUTLS_E_UNEXPECTED_PACKET_LENGTH'. If you receive invalid data, return `GNUTLS_E_RECEIVED_ILLEGAL_PARAMETER'. You can use other error codes from the list in *note Error codes::. Return 0 on success. An extension typically stores private information in the `session' data for later usage. That can be done using the functions `_gnutls_ext_set_session_data' and `_gnutls_ext_get_session_data'. You can check simple examples at `ext/max_record.c' and `ext/server_name.c' extensions. That private information can be saved and restored across session resumption if the following functions are set: The `_foobar_pack' function is responsible for packing internal extension data to save them in the session resumption storage. The `_foobar_unpack' function is responsible for restoring session data from the session resumption storage. Recall that both the client and server, send and receive parameters, and your code most likely will need to do different things depending on which mode it is in. It may be useful to make this distinction explicit in the code. Thus, for example, a better template than above would be: int _gnutls_foobar_recv_params (gnutls_session_t session, const opaque * data, size_t data_size) { if (session->security_parameters.entity == GNUTLS_CLIENT) return foobar_recv_client (session, data, data_size); else return foobar_recv_server (session, data, data_size); } int _gnutls_foobar_send_params (gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_buffer_st * data) { if (session->security_parameters.entity == GNUTLS_CLIENT) return foobar_send_client (session, data); else return foobar_send_server (session, data); } The functions used would be declared as `static' functions, of the appropriate prototype, in the same file. When adding the files, you'll need to add them to `ext/Makefile.am' as well, for example: if ENABLE_FOOBAR libgnutls_ext_la_SOURCES += ext/foobar.c ext/foobar.h endif Add API functions to enable/disable the extension. .................................................. It might be desirable to allow users of the extension to request use of the extension, or set extension specific data. This can be implemented by adding extension specific function calls that can be added to `includes/gnutls/gnutls.h', as long as the LGPLv3+ applies. The implementation of the function should lie in the `ext/foobar.c' file. To make the API available in the shared library you need to add the symbol in `lib/libgnutls.map', so that the symbol is exported properly. When writing GTK-DOC style documentation for your new APIs, don't forget to add `Since:' tags to indicate the GnuTLS version the API was introduced in. Adding a new Supplemental Data Handshake Message ------------------------------------------------ TLS handshake extensions allow to send so called supplemental data handshake messages [_RFC4680_]. This short section explains how to implement a supplemental data handshake message for a given TLS extension. First of all, modify your extension `foobar' in the way, the that flags `session->security_parameters.do_send_supplemental' and `session->security_parameters.do_recv_supplemental' are set: int _gnutls_foobar_recv_params (gnutls_session_t session, const opaque * data, size_t _data_size) { ... session->security_parameters.do_recv_supplemental=1; ... } int _gnutls_foobar_send_params (gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_buffer_st *extdata) { ... session->security_parameters.do_send_supplemental=1; ... } Furthermore add the functions `_foobar_supp_recv_params' and `_foobar_supp_send_params' to `_foobar.h' and `_foobar.c'. The following example code shows how to send a "Hello World" string in the supplemental data handshake message: int _foobar_supp_recv_params(gnutls_session_t session, const opaque *data, size_t _data_size) { uint8_t len = _data_size; unsigned char *msg; msg = gnutls_malloc(len); if (msg == NULL) return GNUTLS_E_MEMORY_ERROR; memcpy(msg, data, len); msg[len]='\0'; /* do something with msg */ gnutls_free(msg); return len; } int _foobar_supp_send_params(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_buffer_st *buf) { unsigned char *msg = "hello world"; int len = strlen(msg); _gnutls_buffer_append_data_prefix(buf, 8, msg, len); return len; } Afterwards, add the new supplemental data handshake message to `lib/gnutls_supplemental.c' by adding a new entry to the `_gnutls_supplemental[]' structure: gnutls_supplemental_entry _gnutls_supplemental[] = { {"foobar", GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_FOOBAR_DATA, _foobar_supp_recv_params, _foobar_supp_send_params}, {0, 0, 0, 0} }; You have to include your `foobar.h' header file as well: #include "foobar.h" Lastly, add the new supplemental data type to `lib/includes/gnutls/gnutls.h': typedef enum { GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_USER_MAPPING_DATA = 0, GNUTLS_SUPPLEMENTAL_FOOBAR_DATA = 1 } gnutls_supplemental_data_format_type_t; Heartbeat extension. .................... One such extension is HeartBeat protocol (RFC6520: `https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6520') implementation. To enable it use option -heartbeat with example client and server supplied with gnutls: ./doc/credentials/gnutls-http-serv --priority "NORMAL:-CIPHER-ALL:+NULL" -d 100 --heartbeat --echo ./src/gnutls-cli --priority "NORMAL:-CIPHER-ALL:+NULL" -d 100 localhost -p 5556 --insecure --heartbeat After that pasting **HEARTBEAT** command into gnutls-cli will trigger corresponding command on the server and it will send HeartBeat Request with random length to client. Another way is to run capabilities check with: ./doc/credentials/gnutls-http-serv -d 100 --heartbeat ./src/gnutls-cli-debug localhost -p 5556  File: gnutls.info, Node: Cryptographic Backend, Prev: TLS Extension Handling, Up: Internal architecture of GnuTLS 10.5 Cryptographic Backend ========================== Today most new processors, either for embedded or desktop systems include either instructions intended to speed up cryptographic operations, or a co-processor with cryptographic capabilities. Taking advantage of those is a challenging task for every cryptographic application or library. Unfortunately the cryptographic library that GnuTLS is based on takes no advantage of these capabilities. For this reason GnuTLS handles this internally by following a layered approach to accessing cryptographic operations as in *note fig:crypto-layers::. [image src="gnutls-crypto-layers.png"] Figure 10.4: GnuTLS cryptographic back-end design. The TLS layer uses a cryptographic provider layer, that will in turn either use the default crypto provider - a software crypto library, or use an external crypto provider, if available in the local system. The reason of handling the external cryptographic provider in GnuTLS and not delegating it to the cryptographic libraries, is that none of the supported cryptographic libraries support `/dev/crypto' or CPU-optimized cryptography in an efficient way. Cryptographic library layer --------------------------- The Cryptographic library layer, currently supports only libnettle. Older versions of GnuTLS used to support libgcrypt, but it was switched with nettle mainly for performance reasons(1) and secondary because it is a simpler library to use. In the future other cryptographic libraries might be supported as well. External cryptography provider ------------------------------ Systems that include a cryptographic co-processor, typically come with kernel drivers to utilize the operations from software. For this reason GnuTLS provides a layer where each individual algorithm used can be replaced by another implementation, i.e., the one provided by the driver. The FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux kernels(2) include already a number of hardware assisted implementations, and also provide an interface to access them, called `/dev/crypto'. GnuTLS will take advantage of this interface if compiled with special options. That is because in most systems where hardware-assisted cryptographic operations are not available, using this interface might actually harm performance. In systems that include cryptographic instructions with the CPU's instructions set, using the kernel interface will introduce an unneeded layer. For this reason GnuTLS includes such optimizations found in popular processors such as the AES-NI or VIA PADLOCK instruction sets. This is achieved using a mechanism that detects CPU capabilities and overrides parts of crypto back-end at runtime. The next section discusses the registration of a detected algorithm optimization. For more information please consult the GnuTLS source code in `lib/accelerated/'. Overriding specific algorithms .............................. When an optimized implementation of a single algorithm is available, say a hardware assisted version of AES-CBC then the following (internal) functions, from `crypto-backend.h', can be used to register those algorithms. * `gnutls_crypto_single_cipher_register': To register a cipher algorithm. * `gnutls_crypto_single_digest_register': To register a hash (digest) or MAC algorithm. Those registration functions will only replace the specified algorithm and leave the rest of subsystem intact. Overriding the cryptographic library .................................... In some systems, that might contain a broad acceleration engine, it might be desirable to override big parts of the cryptographic back-end, or even all of them. The following functions are provided for this reason. * `gnutls_crypto_cipher_register': To override the cryptographic algorithms back-end. * `gnutls_crypto_digest_register': To override the digest algorithms back-end. * `gnutls_crypto_rnd_register': To override the random number generator back-end. * `gnutls_crypto_bigint_register': To override the big number number operations back-end. * `gnutls_crypto_pk_register': To override the public key encryption back-end. This is tied to the big number operations so either none or both of them should be overriden. ---------- Footnotes ---------- (1) See `http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2011-02/msg00079.html'.

File: gnutls.info, Node: Upgrading from previous versions, Next: Support, Prev: Internal architecture of GnuTLS, Up: Top Appendix A Upgrading from previous versions ******************************************* The GnuTLS library typically maintains binary and source code compatibility across versions. The releases that have the major version increased break binary compatibility but source compatibility is provided. This section lists exceptional cases where changes to existing code are required due to library changes. Upgrading to 2.12.x from previous versions ========================================== GnuTLS 2.12.x is binary compatible with previous versions but changes the semantics of `gnutls_transport_set_lowat', which might cause breakage in applications that relied on its default value be 1. Two fixes are proposed: * Quick fix. Explicitly call `gnutls_transport_set_lowat (session, 1);' after *note gnutls_init::. * Long term fix. Because later versions of gnutls abolish the functionality of using the system call `select' to check for gnutls pending data, the function *note gnutls_record_check_pending:: has to be used to achieve the same functionality as described in *note Asynchronous operation::. Upgrading to 3.0.x from 2.12.x ============================== GnuTLS 3.0.x is source compatible with previous versions except for the functions listed below. Old function Replacement ------------------------------------------------------------------- `gnutls_transport_set_lowat' To replace its functionality the function *note gnutls_record_check_pending:: has to be used, as described in *note Asynchronous operation:: `gnutls_session_get_server_random',They are replaced by the safer function `gnutls_session_get_client_random'*note gnutls_session_get_random:: `gnutls_session_get_master_secret'Replaced by the keying material exporters discussed in *note Keying Material Exporters:: `gnutls_transport_set_global_errno'Replaced by using the system's errno fascility or *note gnutls_transport_set_errno::. `gnutls_x509_privkey_verify_data'Replaced by *note gnutls_pubkey_verify_data::. `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers'Replaced by *note gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2::. `gnutls_psk_netconf_derive_key'Removed. The key derivation function was never standardized. `gnutls_session_set_finished_function'Removed. `gnutls_ext_register' Removed. Extension registration API is now internal to allow easier changes in the API. `gnutls_certificate_get_x509_crls',Removed to allow updating the internal `gnutls_certificate_get_x509_cas'structures. Replaced by *note gnutls_certificate_get_issuer::. `gnutls_certificate_get_openpgp_keyring'Removed. `gnutls_ia_*' Removed. The inner application extensions were completely removed (they failed to be standardized). Upgrading to 3.1.x from 3.0.x ============================= GnuTLS 3.1.x is source and binary compatible with GnuTLS 3.0.x releases. Few functions have been deprecated and are listed below. Old function Replacement ------------------------------------------------------------------- `gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash'The function *note gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2:: is provided and is functionally equivalent and safer to use. `gnutls_pubkey_verify_data'The function *note gnutls_pubkey_verify_data2:: is provided and is functionally equivalent and safer to use.

Archives of the mailing list discussions, and an interface to manage subscriptions, is available through the World Wide Web at `http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls'. A mailing list for developers are also available, see `http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/lists.html'. Bug reports should be sent to , see *note Bug Reports::.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Commercial Support, Next: Bug Reports, Prev: Getting help, Up: Support B.2 Commercial Support ====================== Commercial support is available for users of GnuTLS. The kind of support that can be purchased may include: * Implement new features. Such as a new TLS extension. * Port GnuTLS to new platforms. This could include porting to an embedded platforms that may need memory or size optimization. * Integrating TLS as a security environment in your existing project. * System design of components related to TLS. If you are interested, please write to: Simon Josefsson Datakonsult Hagagatan 24 113 47 Stockholm Sweden E-mail: simon@josefsson.org If your company provides support related to GnuTLS and would like to be mentioned here, contact the authors.  File: gnutls.info, Node: Bug Reports, Next: Contributing, Prev: Commercial Support, Up: Support B.3 Bug Reports =============== If you think you have found a bug in GnuTLS, please investigate it and report it. * Please make sure that the bug is really in GnuTLS, and preferably also check that it hasn't already been fixed in the latest version. * You have to send us a test case that makes it possible for us to reproduce the bug. * You also have to explain what is wrong; if you get a crash, or if the results printed are not good and in that case, in what way. Make sure that the bug report includes all information you would need to fix this kind of bug for someone else. Please make an effort to produce a self-contained report, with something definite that can be tested or debugged. Vague queries or piecemeal messages are difficult to act on and don't help the development effort. If your bug report is good, we will do our best to help you to get a corrected version of the software; if the bug report is poor, we won't do anything about it (apart from asking you to send better bug reports). If you think something in this manual is unclear, or downright incorrect, or if the language needs to be improved, please also send a note. Send your bug report to: `bug-gnutls@gnu.org'  File: gnutls.info, Node: Contributing, Prev: Bug Reports, Up: Support B.4 Contributing ================ If you want to submit a patch for inclusion - from solving a typo you discovered, up to adding support for a new feature - you should submit it as a bug report, using the process in *note Bug Reports::. There are some things that you can do to increase the chances for it to be included in the official package. Unless your patch is very small (say, under 10 lines) we require that you assign the copyright of your work to the Free Software Foundation. This is to protect the freedom of the project. If you have not already signed papers, we will send you the necessary information when you submit your contribution. For contributions that doesn't consist of actual programming code, the only guidelines are common sense. For code contributions, a number of style guides will help you: * Coding Style. Follow the GNU Standards document. If you normally code using another coding standard, there is no problem, but you should use `indent' to reformat the code before submitting your work. * Use the unified diff format `diff -u'. * Return errors. No reason whatsoever should abort the execution of the library. Even memory allocation errors, e.g. when malloc return NULL, should work although result in an error code. * Design with thread safety in mind. Don't use global variables. Don't even write to per-handle global variables unless the documented behaviour of the function you write is to write to the per-handle global variable. * Avoid using the C math library. It causes problems for embedded implementations, and in most situations it is very easy to avoid using it. * Document your functions. Use comments before each function headers, that, if properly formatted, are extracted into Texinfo manuals and GTK-DOC web pages. * Supply a ChangeLog and NEWS entries, where appropriate.

LEVEL: is the level of the alert DESC: is the alert description This function will send an alert to the peer in order to inform him of something important (eg. his Certificate could not be verified). If the alert level is Fatal then the peer is expected to close the connection, otherwise he may ignore the alert and continue. The error code of the underlying record send function will be returned, so you may also receive `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' as well. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_alert_send_appropriate ----------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_alert_send_appropriate (gnutls_session_t SESSION, int ERR) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

This function may also return `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' , or `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' . If the return value is `GNUTLS_E_INVALID_REQUEST' , then no alert has been sent to the peer. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_anon_allocate_client_credentials --------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_anon_allocate_client_credentials (gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t * SC) SC: is a pointer to a `gnutls_anon_client_credentials_t' structure. This structure is complex enough to manipulate directly thus this helper function is provided in order to allocate it. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_anon_allocate_server_credentials --------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_anon_allocate_server_credentials (gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t * SC) SC: is a pointer to a `gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t' structure.

The callback should return `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) on success. gnutls_anon_set_server_dh_params -------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_anon_set_server_dh_params (gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t RES, gnutls_dh_params_t DH_PARAMS) RES: is a gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t structure DH_PARAMS: is a structure that holds Diffie-Hellman parameters. This function will set the Diffie-Hellman parameters for an anonymous server to use. These parameters will be used in Anonymous Diffie-Hellman cipher suites. gnutls_anon_set_server_params_function -------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_anon_set_server_params_function (gnutls_anon_server_credentials_t RES, gnutls_params_function * FUNC) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure FUNC: is the function to be called This function will set a callback in order for the server to get the Diffie-Hellman parameters for anonymous authentication. The callback should return `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) on success. gnutls_auth_client_get_type --------------------------- -- Function: gnutls_credentials_type_t gnutls_auth_client_get_type (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Returns the type of credentials that were used for client authentication. The returned information is to be used to distinguish the function used to access authentication data. *Returns:* The type of credentials for the client authentication schema, a `gnutls_credentials_type_t' type. gnutls_auth_get_type -------------------- -- Function: gnutls_credentials_type_t gnutls_auth_get_type (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Returns type of credentials for the current authentication schema. The returned information is to be used to distinguish the function used to access authentication data. Eg. for CERTIFICATE ciphersuites (key exchange algorithms: `GNUTLS_KX_RSA' , `GNUTLS_KX_DHE_RSA' ), the same function are to be used to access the authentication data. *Returns:* The type of credentials for the current authentication schema, a `gnutls_credentials_type_t' type. gnutls_auth_server_get_type --------------------------- -- Function: gnutls_credentials_type_t gnutls_auth_server_get_type (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

The returned information is to be used to distinguish the function used to access authentication data. *Returns:* The type of credentials for the server authentication schema, a `gnutls_credentials_type_t' type. gnutls_bye ---------- -- Function: int gnutls_bye (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_close_request_t HOW) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. HOW: is an integer Terminates the current TLS/SSL connection. The connection should have been initiated using `gnutls_handshake()' . `how' should be one of `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' , `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' . In case of `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' the TLS session gets terminated and further receives and sends will be disallowed. If the return value is zero you may continue using the underlying transport layer. `GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR' sends an alert containing a close request and waits for the peer to reply with the same message. In case of `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' the TLS session gets terminated and further sends will be disallowed. In order to reuse the connection you should wait for an EOF from the peer. `GNUTLS_SHUT_WR' sends an alert containing a close request. Note that not all implementations will properly terminate a TLS connection. Some of them, usually for performance reasons, will terminate only the underlying transport layer, and thus not distinguishing between a malicious party prematurely terminating the connection and normal termination. This function may also return `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' or `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' ; cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code, see function documentation for entire semantics. gnutls_certificate_activation_time_peers ---------------------------------------- -- Function: time_t gnutls_certificate_activation_time_peers (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a gnutls session This function will return the peer's certificate activation time. This is the creation time for openpgp keys. *Returns:* (time_t)-1 on error. *Deprecated:* `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' now verifies activation times. gnutls_certificate_allocate_credentials --------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_allocate_credentials (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t * RES) RES: is a pointer to a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. This structure is complex enough to manipulate directly thus this helper function is provided in order to allocate it. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status -------------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a gnutls session Get whether client certificate is requested or not. *Returns:* 0 if the peer (server) did not request client authentication or 1 otherwise, or a negative error code in case of error. gnutls_certificate_expiration_time_peers ---------------------------------------- -- Function: time_t gnutls_certificate_expiration_time_peers (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a gnutls session This function will return the peer's certificate expiration time. *Returns:* (time_t)-1 on error. *Deprecated:* `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' now verifies expiration times. gnutls_certificate_free_ca_names -------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_free_ca_names (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC) SC: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. This function will delete all the CA name in the given credentials. Clients may call this to save some memory since in client side the CA names are not used. Servers might want to use this function if a large list of trusted CAs is present and sending the names of it would just consume bandwidth without providing information to client. CA names are used by servers to advertise the CAs they support to clients. gnutls_certificate_free_cas --------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_free_cas (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC) SC: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. This function will delete all the CAs associated with the given credentials. Servers that do not use `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' may call this to save some memory. gnutls_certificate_free_credentials ----------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_free_credentials (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC) SC: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. This structure is complex enough to manipulate directly thus this helper function is provided in order to free (deallocate) it. This function does not free any temporary parameters associated with this structure (ie RSA and DH parameters are not freed by this function). gnutls_certificate_free_crls ---------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_free_crls (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC) SC: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure.

The certificate is in raw (DER) format. No certificate list is being returned. Only the first certificate. *Returns:* a pointer to a `gnutls_datum_t' containing our certificate, or `NULL' in case of an error or if no certificate was used. gnutls_certificate_get_peers ---------------------------- -- Function: const gnutls_datum_t * gnutls_certificate_get_peers (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int * LIST_SIZE) SESSION: is a gnutls session LIST_SIZE: is the length of the certificate list Get the peer's raw certificate (chain) as sent by the peer. These certificates are in raw format (DER encoded for X.509). In case of a X.509 then a certificate list may be present. The first certificate in the list is the peer's certificate, following the issuer's certificate, then the issuer's issuer etc. In case of OpenPGP keys a single key will be returned in raw format. *Returns:* a pointer to a `gnutls_datum_t' containing our certificates, or `NULL' in case of an error or if no certificate was used. gnutls_certificate_get_peers_subkey_id -------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_get_peers_subkey_id (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * ID) SESSION: is a gnutls session ID: will contain the ID Get the peer's subkey ID when OpenPGP certificates are used. The returned `id' should be treated as constant. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. *Since:* 3.1.3 gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence ----------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_send_x509_rdn_sequence (gnutls_session_t SESSION, int STATUS) SESSION: is a pointer to a `gnutls_session_t' structure. STATUS: is 0 or 1 If status is non zero, this function will order gnutls not to send the rdnSequence in the certificate request message. That is the server will not advertise its trusted CAs to the peer. If status is zero then the default behaviour will take effect, which is to advertise the server's trusted CAs. This function has no effect in clients, and in authentication methods other than certificate with X.509 certificates. gnutls_certificate_server_set_request ------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_server_set_request (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_certificate_request_t REQ) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. REQ: is one of GNUTLS_CERT_REQUEST, GNUTLS_CERT_REQUIRE This function specifies if we (in case of a server) are going to send a certificate request message to the client. If `req' is GNUTLS_CERT_REQUIRE then the server will return an error if the peer does not provide a certificate. If you do not call this function then the client will not be asked to send a certificate. gnutls_certificate_set_dh_params -------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_dh_params (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_dh_params_t DH_PARAMS) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure DH_PARAMS: is a structure that holds Diffie-Hellman parameters. This function will set the Diffie-Hellman parameters for a certificate server to use. These parameters will be used in Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman cipher suites. Note that only a pointer to the parameters are stored in the certificate handle, so you must not deallocate the parameters before the certificate is deallocated. gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file ----------------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_file (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC, const char* RESPONSE_FILE, unsigned int FLAGS) SC: - undescribed - RESPONSE_FILE: a filename of the OCSP response FLAGS: should be zero This function sets the filename of an OCSP response, that will be sent to the client if requests an OCSP certificate status. This is a convenience function which is inefficient on busy servers since the file is opened on every access. Use `gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_function()' to fine-tune file accesses. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. *Since:* 3.1.3 gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_function --------------------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_ocsp_status_request_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t SC, gnutls_status_request_ocsp_func OCSP_FUNC, void * PTR) SC: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. OCSP_FUNC: function pointer to OCSP status request callback. PTR: opaque pointer passed to callback function This function is to be used by server to register a callback to handle OCSP status requests from the client. The callback will be invoked if the client supplied a status-request OCSP extension. The callback function prototype is: typedef int (*gnutls_status_request_ocsp_func) (gnutls_session_t session, void *ptr, gnutls_datum_t *ocsp_response); The callback will be invoked if the client requests an OCSP certificate status. The callback may return `GNUTLS_E_NO_CERTIFICATE_STATUS' , if there is no recent OCSP response. If the callback returns `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' , the server will provide the client with the ocsp_response. The response must be a value allocated using `gnutls_malloc()' , and will be deinitialized when needed. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. *Since:* 3.1.3 gnutls_certificate_set_params_function -------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_params_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_params_function * FUNC) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure FUNC: is the function to be called This function will set a callback in order for the server to get the Diffie-Hellman or RSA parameters for certificate authentication. The callback should return `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) on success. gnutls_certificate_set_pin_function ----------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_pin_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t CRED, gnutls_pin_callback_t FN, void * USERDATA) CRED: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. FN: A PIN callback USERDATA: Data to be passed in the callback This function will set a callback function to be used when required to access a protected object. This function overrides any other global PIN functions. Note that this function must be called right after initialization to have effect. *Since:* 3.1.0 gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function ---------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t CRED, gnutls_certificate_retrieve_function * FUNC) CRED: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. FUNC: is the callback function This function sets a callback to be called in order to retrieve the certificate to be used in the handshake. You are advised to use `gnutls_certificate_set_retrieve_function2()' because it is much more efficient in the processing it requires from gnutls. The callback's function prototype is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t, const gnutls_datum_t* req_ca_dn, int nreqs, const gnutls_pk_algorithm_t* pk_algos, int pk_algos_length, gnutls_retr2_st* st); `req_ca_cert' is only used in X.509 certificates. Contains a list with the CA names that the server considers trusted. Normally we should send a certificate that is signed by one of these CAs. These names are DER encoded. To get a more meaningful value use the function `gnutls_x509_rdn_get()' . `pk_algos' contains a list with server's acceptable signature algorithms. The certificate returned should support the server's given algorithms. `st' should contain the certificates and private keys. If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it, in the handshake, after the certificate request message has been received. In server side pk_algos and req_ca_dn are NULL. The callback function should set the certificate list to be sent, and return 0 on success. If no certificate was selected then the number of certificates should be set to zero. The value (-1) indicates error and the handshake will be terminated. *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags ----------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_flags (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, unsigned int FLAGS) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials_t structure FLAGS: are the flags This function will set the flags to be used for verification of certificates and override any defaults. The provided flags must be an OR of the `gnutls_certificate_verify_flags' enumerations. gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function -------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_function (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t CRED, gnutls_certificate_verify_function * FUNC) CRED: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. FUNC: is the callback function This function sets a callback to be called when peer's certificate has been received in order to verify it on receipt rather than doing after the handshake is completed. The callback's function prototype is: int (*callback)(gnutls_session_t); If the callback function is provided then gnutls will call it, in the handshake, just after the certificate message has been received. To verify or obtain the certificate the `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' , `gnutls_certificate_type_get()' , `gnutls_certificate_get_peers()' functions can be used. The callback function should return 0 for the handshake to continue or non-zero to terminate. *Since:* 2.10.0 gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits ------------------------------------ -- Function: void gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, unsigned int MAX_BITS, unsigned int MAX_DEPTH) RES: is a gnutls_certificate_credentials structure MAX_BITS: is the number of bits of an acceptable certificate (default 8200) MAX_DEPTH: is maximum depth of the verification of a certificate chain (default 5) This function will set some upper limits for the default verification function, `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' , to avoid denial of service attacks. You can set them to zero to disable limits. gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl ------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_x509_crl_t * CRL_LIST, int CRL_LIST_SIZE) RES: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. CRL_LIST: is a list of trusted CRLs. They should have been verified before. CRL_LIST_SIZE: holds the size of the crl_list This function adds the trusted CRLs in order to verify client or server certificates. In case of a client this is not required to be called if the certificates are not verified using `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' . This function may be called multiple times. *Returns:* number of CRLs processed, or a negative error code on error. *Since:* 2.4.0 gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file ------------------------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_file (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, const char * CRLFILE, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t TYPE) RES: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. CRLFILE: is a file containing the list of verified CRLs (DER or PEM list) TYPE: is PEM or DER This function adds the trusted CRLs in order to verify client or server certificates. In case of a client this is not required to be called if the certificates are not verified using `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' . This function may be called multiple times. *Returns:* number of CRLs processed or a negative error code on error. gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_mem ----------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_crl_mem (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, const gnutls_datum_t * CRL, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t TYPE) RES: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure. CRL: is a list of trusted CRLs. They should have been verified before. TYPE: is DER or PEM This function adds the trusted CRLs in order to verify client or server certificates. In case of a client this is not required to be called if the certificates are not verified using `gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2()' . This function may be called multiple times. *Returns:* number of CRLs processed, or a negative error code on error. gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key ------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key (gnutls_certificate_credentials_t RES, gnutls_x509_crt_t * CERT_LIST, int CERT_LIST_SIZE, gnutls_x509_privkey_t KEY) RES: is a `gnutls_certificate_credentials_t' structure.

This function may be called more than once, in case multiple keys/certificates exist for the server. Note that the keyUsage (2.5.29.15) PKIX extension in X.509 certificates is supported. This means that certificates intended for signing cannot be used for ciphersuites that require encryption. If the certificate and the private key are given in PEM encoding then the strings that hold their values must be null terminated.

Note that value in `status' is set only when the return value of this function is success (i.e, failure to trust a certificate does not imply a negative return value). If available the OCSP Certificate Status extension will be utilized by this function. To avoid denial of service attacks some default upper limits regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set. To override them use `gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits()' .

The new parameters will be allocated using `gnutls_malloc()' and will be stored in the appropriate datum. This function is normally slow. Do not set the number of bits directly, use `gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits()' to get bits for `GNUTLS_PK_DSA' . Also note that the DH parameters are only useful to servers. Since clients use the parameters sent by the server, it's of no use to call this in client side. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3 ----------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3 (gnutls_dh_params_t PARAMS, const gnutls_datum_t * PKCS3_PARAMS, gnutls_x509_crt_fmt_t FORMAT) PARAMS: A structure where the parameters will be copied to PKCS3_PARAMS: should contain a PKCS3 DHParams structure PEM or DER encoded FORMAT: the format of params. PEM or DER. This function will extract the DHParams found in a PKCS3 formatted structure. This is the format generated by "openssl dhparam" tool. If the structure is PEM encoded, it should have a header of "BEGIN DH PARAMETERS". *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_dh_params_import_raw --------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_dh_params_import_raw (gnutls_dh_params_t DH_PARAMS, const gnutls_datum_t * PRIME, const gnutls_datum_t * GENERATOR) DH_PARAMS: Is a structure that will hold the prime numbers PRIME: holds the new prime GENERATOR: holds the new generator This function will replace the pair of prime and generator for use in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. The new parameters should be stored in the appropriate gnutls_datum. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_dh_params_init --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_dh_params_init (gnutls_dh_params_t * DH_PARAMS) DH_PARAMS: Is a structure that will hold the prime numbers This function will initialize the DH parameters structure. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits ------------------------ -- Function: void gnutls_dh_set_prime_bits (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int BITS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. BITS: is the number of bits This function sets the number of bits, for use in a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. This is used both in DH ephemeral and DH anonymous cipher suites. This will set the minimum size of the prime that will be used for the handshake. In the client side it sets the minimum accepted number of bits. If a server sends a prime with less bits than that `GNUTLS_E_DH_PRIME_UNACCEPTABLE' will be returned by the handshake. Note that values lower than 512 bits may allow decryption of the exchanged data. The function has no effect in server side. Note that since 3.1.7 this function is deprecated. The minimum number of bits is set by the priority string level. Also this function must be called after `gnutls_priority_set_direct()' or the set value may be overriden by the selected priority options. gnutls_ecc_curve_get -------------------- -- Function: gnutls_ecc_curve_t gnutls_ecc_curve_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Returns the currently used elliptic curve. Only valid when using an elliptic curve ciphersuite. *Returns:* the currently used curve, a `gnutls_ecc_curve_t' type. *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_ecc_curve_get_name ------------------------- -- Function: const char * gnutls_ecc_curve_get_name (gnutls_ecc_curve_t CURVE) CURVE: is an ECC curve Convert a `gnutls_ecc_curve_t' value to a string. *Returns:* a string that contains the name of the specified curve or `NULL' . *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_ecc_curve_get_size ------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_ecc_curve_get_size (gnutls_ecc_curve_t CURVE) CURVE: is an ECC curve Returns the size in bytes of the curve. *Returns:* a the size or (0). *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_ecc_curve_list --------------------- -- Function: const gnutls_ecc_curve_t * gnutls_ecc_curve_list ( VOID) Get the list of supported elliptic curves. This function is not thread safe. *Returns:* Return a (0)-terminated list of `gnutls_ecc_curve_t' integers indicating the available curves. gnutls_error_is_fatal --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_error_is_fatal (int ERROR) ERROR: is a GnuTLS error code, a negative error code If a GnuTLS function returns a negative error code you may feed that value to this function to see if the error condition is fatal. Note that you may also want to check the error code manually, since some non-fatal errors to the protocol (such as a warning alert or a rehandshake request) may be fatal for your program. This function is only useful if you are dealing with errors from the record layer or the handshake layer. *Returns:* 1 if the error code is fatal, for positive `error' values, 0 is returned. For unknown `error' values, -1 is returned. gnutls_error_to_alert --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_error_to_alert (int ERR, int * LEVEL) ERR: is a negative integer LEVEL: the alert level will be stored there Get an alert depending on the error code returned by a gnutls function. All alerts sent by this function should be considered fatal. The only exception is when `err' is `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' , where a warning alert should be sent to the peer indicating that no renegotiation will be performed. If there is no mapping to a valid alert the alert to indicate internal error is returned. *Returns:* the alert code to use for a particular error code. gnutls_fingerprint ------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_fingerprint (gnutls_digest_algorithm_t ALGO, const gnutls_datum_t * DATA, void * RESULT, size_t * RESULT_SIZE) ALGO: is a digest algorithm DATA: is the data RESULT: is the place where the result will be copied (may be null). RESULT_SIZE: should hold the size of the result. The actual size of the returned result will also be copied there. This function will calculate a fingerprint (actually a hash), of the given data. The result is not printable data. You should convert it to hex, or to something else printable. This is the usual way to calculate a fingerprint of an X.509 DER encoded certificate. Note however that the fingerprint of an OpenPGP certificate is not just a hash and cannot be calculated with this function. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_global_deinit -------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_global_deinit ( VOID) This function deinitializes the global data, that were initialized using `gnutls_global_init()' . Note! This function is not thread safe. See the discussion for `gnutls_global_init()' for more information. gnutls_global_init ------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_global_init ( VOID) This function initializes the global data to defaults. In order to free resources you may call `gnutls_global_deinit()' when gnutls usage is no longer needed. Note that this function will also initialize the underlying crypto backend, if it has not been initialized before. This function increments a global counter, so that `gnutls_global_deinit()' only releases resources when it has been called as many times as `gnutls_global_init()' . This is useful when GnuTLS is used by more than one library in an application. This function can be called many times, but will only do something the first time. Note! This function is not thread safe. If two threads call this function simultaneously, they can cause a race between checking the global counter and incrementing it, causing both threads to execute the library initialization code. That would lead to a memory leak. To handle this, your application could invoke this function after aquiring a thread mutex. To ignore the potential memory leak is also an option. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_global_set_audit_log_function ------------------------------------ -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_audit_log_function (gnutls_audit_log_func LOG_FUNC) LOG_FUNC: it is the audit log function This is the function where you set the logging function gnutls is going to use. This is different from `gnutls_global_set_log_function()' because it will report the session of the event if any. Note that that session might be null if there is no corresponding TLS session. `gnutls_audit_log_func' is of the form, void (*gnutls_audit_log_func)( gnutls_session_t, const char*); *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_global_set_log_function ------------------------------ -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_log_function (gnutls_log_func LOG_FUNC) LOG_FUNC: it's a log function This is the function where you set the logging function gnutls is going to use. This function only accepts a character array. Normally you may not use this function since it is only used for debugging purposes. `gnutls_log_func' is of the form, void (*gnutls_log_func)( int level, const char*); gnutls_global_set_log_level --------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_log_level (int LEVEL) LEVEL: it's an integer from 0 to 9. This is the function that allows you to set the log level. The level is an integer between 0 and 9. Higher values mean more verbosity. The default value is 0. Larger values should only be used with care, since they may reveal sensitive information. Use a log level over 10 to enable all debugging options. gnutls_global_set_mem_functions ------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_mem_functions (gnutls_alloc_function ALLOC_FUNC, gnutls_alloc_function SECURE_ALLOC_FUNC, gnutls_is_secure_function IS_SECURE_FUNC, gnutls_realloc_function REALLOC_FUNC, gnutls_free_function FREE_FUNC) ALLOC_FUNC: it's the default memory allocation function. Like `malloc()' . SECURE_ALLOC_FUNC: This is the memory allocation function that will be used for sensitive data. IS_SECURE_FUNC: a function that returns 0 if the memory given is not secure. May be NULL. REALLOC_FUNC: A realloc function FREE_FUNC: The function that frees allocated data. Must accept a NULL pointer. This is the function where you set the memory allocation functions gnutls is going to use. By default the libc's allocation functions (`malloc()' , `free()' ), are used by gnutls, to allocate both sensitive and not sensitive data. This function is provided to set the memory allocation functions to something other than the defaults This function must be called before `gnutls_global_init()' is called. This function is not thread safe. gnutls_global_set_mutex ----------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_mutex (mutex_init_func INIT, mutex_deinit_func DEINIT, mutex_lock_func LOCK, mutex_unlock_func UNLOCK) INIT: mutex initialization function DEINIT: mutex deinitialization function LOCK: mutex locking function UNLOCK: mutex unlocking function With this function you are allowed to override the default mutex locks used in some parts of gnutls and dependent libraries. This function should be used if you have complete control of your program and libraries. Do not call this function from a library. Instead only initialize gnutls and the default OS mutex locks will be used. This function must be called before `gnutls_global_init()' . *Since:* 2.12.0 gnutls_global_set_time_function ------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_global_set_time_function (gnutls_time_func TIME_FUNC) TIME_FUNC: it's the system time function, a `gnutls_time_func()' callback. This is the function where you can override the default system time function. The application provided function should behave the same as the standard function. *Since:* 2.12.0 gnutls_handshake ---------------- -- Function: int gnutls_handshake (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function does the handshake of the TLS/SSL protocol, and initializes the TLS connection. This function will fail if any problem is encountered, and will return a negative error code. In case of a client, if the client has asked to resume a session, but the server couldn't, then a full handshake will be performed. The non-fatal errors such as `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' and `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' interrupt the handshake procedure, which should be resumed later. Call this function again, until it returns 0; cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' and `gnutls_error_is_fatal()' . If this function is called by a server after a rehandshake request then `GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA' or `GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED' may be returned. Note that these are non fatal errors, only in the specific case of a rehandshake. Their meaning is that the client rejected the rehandshake request or in the case of `GNUTLS_E_GOT_APPLICATION_DATA' it might also mean that some data were pending. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. gnutls_handshake_get_last_in ---------------------------- -- Function: gnutls_handshake_description_t gnutls_handshake_get_last_in (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function is only useful to check where the last performed handshake failed. If the previous handshake succeed or was not performed at all then no meaningful value will be returned. Check `gnutls_handshake_description_t' in gnutls.h for the available handshake descriptions. *Returns:* the last handshake message type received, a `gnutls_handshake_description_t' . gnutls_handshake_get_last_out ----------------------------- -- Function: gnutls_handshake_description_t gnutls_handshake_get_last_out (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function is only useful to check where the last performed handshake failed. If the previous handshake succeed or was not performed at all then no meaningful value will be returned. Check `gnutls_handshake_description_t' in gnutls.h for the available handshake descriptions. *Returns:* the last handshake message type sent, a `gnutls_handshake_description_t' . gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length -------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length (gnutls_session_t SESSION, size_t MAX) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. MAX: is the maximum number. This function will set the maximum size of all handshake messages. Handshakes over this size are rejected with `GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE' error code. The default value is 48kb which is typically large enough. Set this to 0 if you do not want to set an upper limit. The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to limit Denial of Service attacks. gnutls_handshake_set_post_client_hello_function ----------------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_handshake_set_post_client_hello_function (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_handshake_post_client_hello_func FUNC) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. FUNC: is the function to be called This function will set a callback to be called after the client hello has been received (callback valid in server side only). This allows the server to adjust settings based on received extensions. Those settings could be ciphersuites, requesting certificate, or anything else except for version negotiation (this is done before the hello message is parsed). This callback must return 0 on success or a gnutls error code to terminate the handshake. *Warning:* You should not use this function to terminate the handshake based on client input unless you know what you are doing. Before the handshake is finished there is no way to know if there is a man-in-the-middle attack being performed. gnutls_handshake_set_private_extensions --------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_handshake_set_private_extensions (gnutls_session_t SESSION, int ALLOW) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. ALLOW: is an integer (0 or 1) This function will enable or disable the use of private cipher suites (the ones that start with 0xFF). By default or if `allow' is 0 then these cipher suites will not be advertized nor used. Currently GnuTLS does not include such cipher-suites or compression algorithms. Enabling the private ciphersuites when talking to other than gnutls servers and clients may cause interoperability problems. gnutls_handshake_set_random --------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_handshake_set_random (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const gnutls_datum_t* RANDOM) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. RANDOM: a random value of 32-bytes This function will explicitly set the server or client hello random value in the subsequent TLS handshake. The random value should be a 32-byte value. Note that this function should not normally be used as gnutls will select automatically a random value for the handshake. This function should not be used when resuming a session. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. Since 3.1.9 gnutls_handshake_set_timeout ---------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_handshake_set_timeout (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int MS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. MS: is a timeout value in milliseconds This function sets the timeout for the handshake process to the provided value. Use an `ms' value of zero to disable timeout. Note that in order for the timeout to be enforced `gnutls_transport_set_pull_timeout_function()' must be set (it is set by default in most systems). gnutls_heartbeat_allowed ------------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_heartbeat_allowed (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int TYPE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. TYPE: one of `GNUTLS_HB_LOCAL_ALLOWED_TO_SEND' and `GNUTLS_HB_PEER_ALLOWED_TO_SEND' This function will check whether heartbeats are allowed to be sent or received in this session. *Returns:* Non zero if heartbeats are allowed. *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_heartbeat_enable ----------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_heartbeat_enable (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int TYPE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. TYPE: one of the GNUTLS_HB_* flags This function will allow heartbeat messages to be received. *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_heartbeat_get_timeout ---------------------------- -- Function: unsigned int gnutls_heartbeat_get_timeout (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function will return the milliseconds remaining for a retransmission of the previously sent ping message. This function is useful when ping is used in non-blocking mode, to estimate when to call `gnutls_heartbeat_ping()' if no packets have been received. *Returns:* the remaining time in milliseconds. *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_heartbeat_ping --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_heartbeat_ping (gnutls_session_t SESSION, size_t DATA_SIZE, unsigned int MAX_TRIES, unsigned int FLAGS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA_SIZE: is the length of the ping payload. MAX_TRIES: if flags is `GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT' then this sets the number of retransmissions. Use zero for indefinite (until timeout). FLAGS: if `GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT' then wait for pong or timeout instead of returning immediately. This function sends a ping to the peer. If the `flags' is set to `GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT' then it waits for a reply from the peer. Note that it is highly recommended to use this function with the flag `GNUTLS_HEARTBEAT_WAIT' , or you need to handle retransmissions and timeouts manually. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_heartbeat_pong --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_heartbeat_pong (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int FLAGS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. FLAGS: should be zero This function replies to a ping by sending a pong to the peer. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_heartbeat_set_timeouts ----------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_heartbeat_set_timeouts (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int RETRANS_TIMEOUT, unsigned int TOTAL_TIMEOUT) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. RETRANS_TIMEOUT: The time at which a retransmission will occur in milliseconds TOTAL_TIMEOUT: The time at which the connection will be aborted, in milliseconds. This function will set the timeouts required for the DTLS handshake protocol. The retransmission timeout is the time after which a message from the peer is not received, the previous messages will be retransmitted. The total timeout is the time after which the handshake will be aborted with `GNUTLS_E_TIMEDOUT' . The DTLS protocol recommends the values of 1 sec and 60 seconds respectively. If the retransmission timeout is zero then the handshake will operate in a non-blocking way, i.e., return `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' . *Since:* 3.1.2 gnutls_hex2bin -------------- -- Function: int gnutls_hex2bin (const char * HEX_DATA, size_t HEX_SIZE, void * BIN_DATA, size_t * BIN_SIZE) HEX_DATA: string with data in hex format HEX_SIZE: size of hex data BIN_DATA: output array with binary data BIN_SIZE: when calling should hold maximum size of `bin_data' , on return will hold actual length of `bin_data' . Convert a buffer with hex data to binary data. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. *Since:* 2.4.0 gnutls_hex_decode ----------------- -- Function: int gnutls_hex_decode (const gnutls_datum_t * HEX_DATA, void * RESULT, size_t * RESULT_SIZE) HEX_DATA: contain the encoded data RESULT: the place where decoded data will be copied RESULT_SIZE: holds the size of the result This function will decode the given encoded data, using the hex encoding used by PSK password files. Note that hex_data should be null terminated. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER' if the buffer given is not long enough, or 0 on success. gnutls_hex_encode ----------------- -- Function: int gnutls_hex_encode (const gnutls_datum_t * DATA, char * RESULT, size_t * RESULT_SIZE) DATA: contain the raw data RESULT: the place where hex data will be copied RESULT_SIZE: holds the size of the result This function will convert the given data to printable data, using the hex encoding, as used in the PSK password files. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER' if the buffer given is not long enough, or 0 on success. gnutls_init ----------- -- Function: int gnutls_init (gnutls_session_t * SESSION, unsigned int FLAGS) SESSION: is a pointer to a `gnutls_session_t' structure. FLAGS: indicate if this session is to be used for server or client. This function initializes the current session to null. Every session must be initialized before use, so internal structures can be allocated. This function allocates structures which can only be free'd by calling `gnutls_deinit()' . Returns `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) on success. `flags' can be one of `GNUTLS_CLIENT' and `GNUTLS_SERVER' . For a DTLS entity, the flags `GNUTLS_DATAGRAM' and `GNUTLS_NONBLOCK' are also available. The latter flag will enable a non-blocking operation of the DTLS timers. Note that since version 3.1.2 this function enables some common TLS extensions such as session tickets and OCSP certificate status request in client side by default. To prevent that use the `GNUTLS_NO_EXTENSIONS' flag. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_key_generate ------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_key_generate (gnutls_datum_t * KEY, unsigned int KEY_SIZE) KEY: is a pointer to a `gnutls_datum_t' which will contain a newly created key. KEY_SIZE: The number of bytes of the key. Generates a random key of `key_size' bytes. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, or an error code. *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_kx_get ------------- -- Function: gnutls_kx_algorithm_t gnutls_kx_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Get currently used key exchange algorithm. *Returns:* the key exchange algorithm used in the last handshake, a `gnutls_kx_algorithm_t' value. gnutls_kx_get_id ---------------- -- Function: gnutls_kx_algorithm_t gnutls_kx_get_id (const char * NAME) NAME: is a KX name Convert a string to a `gnutls_kx_algorithm_t' value. The names are compared in a case insensitive way. *Returns:* an id of the specified KX algorithm, or `GNUTLS_KX_UNKNOWN' on error. gnutls_kx_get_name ------------------ -- Function: const char * gnutls_kx_get_name (gnutls_kx_algorithm_t ALGORITHM) ALGORITHM: is a key exchange algorithm Convert a `gnutls_kx_algorithm_t' value to a string. *Returns:* a pointer to a string that contains the name of the specified key exchange algorithm, or `NULL' . gnutls_kx_list -------------- -- Function: const gnutls_kx_algorithm_t * gnutls_kx_list ( VOID) Get a list of supported key exchange algorithms.

The data are zero terminated but the terminating null is not included in length. The returned data are allocated using `gnutls_malloc()' . *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. Since 3.1.0 gnutls_mac_get -------------- -- Function: gnutls_mac_algorithm_t gnutls_mac_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Get currently used MAC algorithm. *Returns:* the currently used mac algorithm, a `gnutls_mac_algorithm_t' value. gnutls_mac_get_id ----------------- -- Function: gnutls_mac_algorithm_t gnutls_mac_get_id (const char * NAME) NAME: is a MAC algorithm name Convert a string to a `gnutls_mac_algorithm_t' value. The names are compared in a case insensitive way. *Returns:* a `gnutls_mac_algorithm_t' id of the specified MAC algorithm string, or `GNUTLS_MAC_UNKNOWN' on failures. gnutls_mac_get_key_size ----------------------- -- Function: size_t gnutls_mac_get_key_size (gnutls_mac_algorithm_t ALGORITHM) ALGORITHM: is an encryption algorithm Get size of MAC key. *Returns:* length (in bytes) of the given MAC key size, or 0 if the given MAC algorithm is invalid. gnutls_mac_get_name ------------------- -- Function: const char * gnutls_mac_get_name (gnutls_mac_algorithm_t ALGORITHM) ALGORITHM: is a MAC algorithm Convert a `gnutls_mac_algorithm_t' value to a string. *Returns:* a string that contains the name of the specified MAC algorithm, or `NULL' . gnutls_mac_list --------------- -- Function: const gnutls_mac_algorithm_t * gnutls_mac_list ( VOID) Get a list of hash algorithms for use as MACs. Note that not necessarily all MACs are supported in TLS cipher suites. For example, MD2 is not supported as a cipher suite, but is supported for other purposes (e.g., X.509 signature verification or similar). This function is not thread safe. *Returns:* Return a (0)-terminated list of `gnutls_mac_algorithm_t' integers indicating the available MACs. gnutls_ocsp_status_request_enable_client ---------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_ocsp_status_request_enable_client (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * RESPONDER_ID, size_t RESPONDER_ID_SIZE, gnutls_datum_t * EXTENSIONS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. RESPONDER_ID: array with `gnutls_datum_t' with DER data of responder id RESPONDER_ID_SIZE: number of members in `responder_id' array EXTENSIONS: a `gnutls_datum_t' with DER encoded OCSP extensions This function is to be used by clients to request OCSP response from the server, using the "status_request" TLS extension. Only OCSP status type is supported. A typical server has a single OCSP response cached, so `responder_id' and `extensions' should be null. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. *Since:* 3.1.3 gnutls_ocsp_status_request_get ------------------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_ocsp_status_request_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * RESPONSE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. RESPONSE: a `gnutls_datum_t' with DER encoded OCSP response This function returns the OCSP status response received from the TLS server. The `response' should be treated as constant.

The `server_random_first' indicates whether the client random field or the server random field should be first in the seed. Non-0 indicates that the server random field is first, 0 that the client random field is first. The `extra' variable can be used to add more data to the seed, after the random variables. It can be used to make sure the generated output is strongly connected to some additional data (e.g., a string used in user authentication). The output is placed in `out' , which must be pre-allocated. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_prf_raw -------------- -- Function: int gnutls_prf_raw (gnutls_session_t SESSION, size_t LABEL_SIZE, const char * LABEL, size_t SEED_SIZE, const char * SEED, size_t OUTSIZE, char * OUT) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

OUTSIZE: size of pre-allocated output buffer to hold the output. OUT: pre-allocated buffer to hold the generated data. Apply the TLS Pseudo-Random-Function (PRF) on the master secret and the provided data. The `label' variable usually contains a string denoting the purpose for the generated data. The `seed' usually contains data such as the client and server random, perhaps together with some additional data that is added to guarantee uniqueness of the output for a particular purpose. Because the output is not guaranteed to be unique for a particular session unless `seed' includes the client random and server random fields (the PRF would output the same data on another connection resumed from the first one), it is not recommended to use this function directly. The `gnutls_prf()' function seeds the PRF with the client and server random fields directly, and is recommended if you want to generate pseudo random data unique for each session. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_priority_certificate_type_list ------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_priority_certificate_type_list (gnutls_priority_t PCACHE, const unsigned int** LIST) PCACHE: is a `gnutls_prioritity_t' structure.

The 256-bit ciphers are included as a fallback only. The ciphers are sorted by security margin. "SECURE128" means all "secure" ciphersuites of security level 128-bit or more. "SECURE192" means all "secure" ciphersuites of security level 192-bit or more. "SUITEB128" means all the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with security level of 128. "SUITEB192" means all the NSA SuiteB ciphersuites with security level of 192. "EXPORT" means all ciphersuites are enabled, including the low-security 40 bit ciphers. "NONE" means nothing is enabled. This disables even protocols and compression methods. Special keywords are "!", "-" and "+". "!" or "-" appended with an algorithm will remove this algorithm. "+" appended with an algorithm will add this algorithm.

DATA: the buffer that the data will be read into DATA_SIZE: the number of requested bytes This function has the similar semantics with `recv()' . The only difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes. In the special case that a server requests a renegotiation, the client may receive an error code of `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' . This message may be simply ignored, replied with an alert `GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION' , or replied with a new handshake, depending on the client's will. If `EINTR' is returned by the internal push function (the default is `recv()' ) then `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' will be returned. If `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' is returned, you must call this function again to get the data. See also `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . A server may also receive `GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE' when a client has initiated a handshake. In that case the server can only initiate a handshake or terminate the connection. *Returns:* The number of bytes received and zero on EOF (for stream connections). A negative error code is returned in case of an error. The number of bytes received might be less than the requested `data_size' . gnutls_record_recv_seq ---------------------- -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_recv_seq (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, unsigned char * SEQ) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: the buffer that the data will be read into DATA_SIZE: the number of requested bytes SEQ: is the packet's 64-bit sequence number. Should have space for 8 bytes. This function is the same as `gnutls_record_recv()' , except that it returns in addition to data, the sequence number of the data. This is useful in DTLS where record packets might be received out-of-order. The returned 8-byte sequence number is an integer in big-endian format and should be treated as a unique message identification. *Returns:* The number of bytes received and zero on EOF. A negative error code is returned in case of an error. The number of bytes received might be less than `data_size' . *Since:* 3.0 gnutls_record_send ------------------ -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_send (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: contains the data to send DATA_SIZE: is the length of the data This function has the similar semantics with `send()' . The only difference is that it accepts a GnuTLS session, and uses different error codes. Note that if the send buffer is full, `send()' will block this function. See the `send()' documentation for full information. You can replace the default push function by using `gnutls_transport_set_ptr2()' with a call to `send()' with a MSG_DONTWAIT flag if blocking is a problem. If the EINTR is returned by the internal push function (the default is `send()' ) then `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' will be returned. If `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' or `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' is returned, you must call this function again, with the same parameters; alternatively you could provide a `NULL' pointer for data, and 0 for size. cf. `gnutls_record_get_direction()' . The errno value EMSGSIZE maps to `GNUTLS_E_LARGE_PACKET' . *Returns:* The number of bytes sent, or a negative error code. The number of bytes sent might be less than `data_size' . The maximum number of bytes this function can send in a single call depends on the negotiated maximum record size. gnutls_record_send_range ------------------------ -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_send_range (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const void * DATA, size_t DATA_SIZE, const gnutls_range_st * RANGE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: contains the data to send. DATA_SIZE: is the length of the data. RANGE: is the range of lengths in which the real data length must be hidden. This function operates like `gnutls_record_send()' but, while `gnutls_record_send()' adds minimal padding to each TLS record, this function uses the TLS extra-padding feature to conceal the real data size within the range of lengths provided. Some TLS sessions do not support extra padding (e.g. stream ciphers in standard TLS or SSL3 sessions). To know whether the current session supports extra padding, and hence length hiding, use the `gnutls_record_can_use_length_hiding()' function. *Note_* This function currently is only limited to blocking sockets. *Returns:* The number of bytes sent (that is data_size in a successful invocation), or a negative error code. gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records ----------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records (gnutls_session_t SESSION, const unsigned int I) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. I: is the desired value of maximum empty records that can be accepted in a row. Used to set the maximum number of empty fragments that can be accepted in a row. Accepting many empty fragments is useful for receiving length-hidden content, where empty fragments filled with pad are sent to hide the real length of a message. However, a malicious peer could send empty fragments to mount a DoS attack, so as a safety measure, a maximum number of empty fragments is accepted by default. If you know your application must accept a given number of empty fragments in a row, you can use this function to set the desired value. gnutls_record_set_max_size -------------------------- -- Function: ssize_t gnutls_record_set_max_size (gnutls_session_t SESSION, size_t SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. SIZE: is the new size This function sets the maximum record packet size in this connection. This property can only be set to clients. The server may choose not to accept the requested size. Acceptable values are 512(=2^9), 1024(=2^10), 2048(=2^11) and 4096(=2^12). The requested record size does get in effect immediately only while sending data. The receive part will take effect after a successful handshake. This function uses a TLS extension called 'max record size'. Not all TLS implementations use or even understand this extension. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_record_set_timeout ------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_record_set_timeout (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int MS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. MS: is a timeout value in milliseconds This function sets the receive timeout for the record layer to the provided value. Use an `ms' value of zero to disable timeout (the default). Note that in order for the timeout to be enforced `gnutls_transport_set_pull_timeout_function()' must be set (it is set by default in most systems). *Since:* 3.1.7 gnutls_record_uncork -------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_record_uncork (gnutls_session_t SESSION, unsigned int FLAGS) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. FLAGS: Could be zero or `GNUTLS_RECORD_WAIT' This resets the effect of `gnutls_cork()' , and flushes any pending data. If the `GNUTLS_RECORD_WAIT' flag is specified then this function will block until the data is sent or a fatal error occurs (i.e., the function will retry on `GNUTLS_E_AGAIN' and `GNUTLS_E_INTERRUPTED' ). *Returns:* On success the number of transmitted data is returned, or otherwise a negative error code. *Since:* 3.1.9 gnutls_rehandshake ------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_rehandshake (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function will renegotiate security parameters with the client. This should only be called in case of a server. This message informs the peer that we want to renegotiate parameters (perform a handshake). If this function succeeds (returns 0), you must call the `gnutls_handshake()' function in order to negotiate the new parameters. Since TLS is full duplex some application data might have been sent during peer's processing of this message. In that case one should call `gnutls_record_recv()' until GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE is returned to clear any pending data. Care must be taken if rehandshake is mandatory to terminate if it does not start after some threshold. If the client does not wish to renegotiate parameters he will should with an alert message, thus the return code will be `GNUTLS_E_WARNING_ALERT_RECEIVED' and the alert will be `GNUTLS_A_NO_RENEGOTIATION' . A client may also choose to ignore this message. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, otherwise a negative error code. gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status -------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_safe_renegotiation_status (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Can be used to check whether safe renegotiation is being used in the current session. *Returns:* 0 when safe renegotiation is not used and non (0) when safe renegotiation is used. *Since:* 2.10.0 gnutls_sec_param_get_name ------------------------- -- Function: const char * gnutls_sec_param_get_name (gnutls_sec_param_t PARAM) PARAM: is a security parameter Convert a `gnutls_sec_param_t' value to a string. *Returns:* a pointer to a string that contains the name of the specified security level, or `NULL' . *Since:* 2.12.0 gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits --------------------------- -- Function: unsigned int gnutls_sec_param_to_pk_bits (gnutls_pk_algorithm_t ALGO, gnutls_sec_param_t PARAM) ALGO: is a public key algorithm PARAM: is a security parameter When generating private and public key pairs a difficult question is which size of "bits" the modulus will be in RSA and the group size in DSA. The easy answer is 1024, which is also wrong. This function will convert a human understandable security parameter to an appropriate size for the specific algorithm. *Returns:* The number of bits, or (0). *Since:* 2.12.0 gnutls_server_name_get ---------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_server_name_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * DATA, size_t * DATA_LENGTH, unsigned int * TYPE, unsigned int INDX) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. DATA: will hold the data DATA_LENGTH: will hold the data length. Must hold the maximum size of data. TYPE: will hold the server name indicator type INDX: is the index of the server_name This function will allow you to get the name indication (if any), a client has sent. The name indication may be any of the enumeration gnutls_server_name_type_t. If `type' is GNUTLS_NAME_DNS, then this function is to be used by servers that support virtual hosting, and the data will be a null terminated UTF-8 string. If `data' has not enough size to hold the server name GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER is returned, and `data_length' will hold the required size. `index' is used to retrieve more than one server names (if sent by the client). The first server name has an index of 0, the second 1 and so on. If no name with the given index exists GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE is returned. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_server_name_set ---------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_server_name_set (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_server_name_type_t TYPE, const void * NAME, size_t NAME_LENGTH) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. TYPE: specifies the indicator type NAME: is a string that contains the server name. NAME_LENGTH: holds the length of name This function is to be used by clients that want to inform (via a TLS extension mechanism) the server of the name they connected to. This should be used by clients that connect to servers that do virtual hosting. The value of `name' depends on the `type' type. In case of `GNUTLS_NAME_DNS' , an ASCII (0)-terminated domain name string, without the trailing dot, is expected. IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are not permitted. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error code is returned. gnutls_session_channel_binding ------------------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_session_channel_binding (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_channel_binding_t CBTYPE, gnutls_datum_t * CB) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. CBTYPE: an `gnutls_channel_binding_t' enumeration type CB: output buffer array with data Extract given channel binding data of the `cbtype' (e.g., `GNUTLS_CB_TLS_UNIQUE' ) type. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, `GNUTLS_E_UNIMPLEMENTED_FEATURE' if the `cbtype' is unsupported, `GNUTLS_E_CHANNEL_BINDING_NOT_AVAILABLE' if the data is not currently available, or an error code. *Since:* 2.12.0 gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode ---------------------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_session_enable_compatibility_mode (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. This function can be used to disable certain (security) features in TLS in order to maintain maximum compatibility with buggy clients. Because several trade-offs with security are enabled, if required they will be reported through the audit subsystem. Normally only servers that require maximum compatibility with everything out there, need to call this function. gnutls_session_force_valid -------------------------- -- Function: void gnutls_session_force_valid (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. Clears the invalid flag in a session. That means that sessions were corrupt or invalid data were received can be re-used. Use only when debugging or experimenting with the TLS protocol. Should not be used in typical applications. gnutls_session_get_data ----------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_session_get_data (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * SESSION_DATA, size_t * SESSION_DATA_SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. SESSION_DATA: is a pointer to space to hold the session. SESSION_DATA_SIZE: is the session_data's size, or it will be set by the function. Returns all session parameters needed to be stored to support resumption. The client should call this, and store the returned session data. A session may be resumed later by calling `gnutls_session_set_data()' . This function must be called after a successful handshake. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_session_get_data2 ------------------------ -- Function: int gnutls_session_get_data2 (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * DATA) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

The returned `data' are allocated and must be released using `gnutls_free()' . *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_session_get_desc ----------------------- -- Function: char * gnutls_session_get_desc (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a gnutls session This function returns a string describing the current session. The string is null terminated and allocated using `gnutls_malloc()' . *Returns:* a description of the protocols and algorithms in the current session. *Since:* 3.1.10 gnutls_session_get_id --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_session_get_id (gnutls_session_t SESSION, void * SESSION_ID, size_t * SESSION_ID_SIZE) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure. SESSION_ID: is a pointer to space to hold the session id. SESSION_ID_SIZE: initially should contain the maximum `session_id' size and will be updated. Returns the current session ID. This can be used if you want to check if the next session you tried to resume was actually resumed. That is because resumed sessions share the same session ID with the original session. The session ID is selected by the server, that identify the current session. In TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 session id is always less than 32 bytes. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. gnutls_session_get_id2 ---------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_session_get_id2 (gnutls_session_t SESSION, gnutls_datum_t * SESSION_ID) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

This is the same as calling: gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "NORMAL", NULL); This function is kept around for backwards compatibility, but because of its wide use it is still fully supported. If you wish to allow users to provide a string that specify which ciphers to use (which is recommended), you should use `gnutls_priority_set_direct()' or `gnutls_priority_set()' instead. *Returns:* `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' on success, or an error code. gnutls_sign_algorithm_get ------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_sign_algorithm_get (gnutls_session_t SESSION) SESSION: is a `gnutls_session_t' structure.

If the specified index has no data available this function returns `GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE' . If the negotiated TLS version does not support signature algorithms then `GNUTLS_E_REQUESTED_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE' will be returned even for the first index. The first index is 0. This function is useful in the certificate callback functions to assist in selecting the correct certificate. *Returns:* On success, `GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS' (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned. *Since:* 2.10.0 gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm ------------------------------ -- Function: gnutls_digest_algorithm_t gnutls_sign_get_hash_algorithm (gnutls_sign_algorithm_t SIGN) SIGN: is a signature algorithm This function returns the digest algorithm corresponding to the given signature algorithms. *Since:* 3.1.1 *Returns:* return a `gnutls_digest_algorithm_t' value, or `GNUTLS_DIG_UNKNOWN' on error. gnutls_sign_get_id ------------------ -- Function: gnutls_sign_algorithm_t gnutls_sign_get_id (const char * NAME) NAME: is a sign algorithm name The names are compared in a case insensitive way. *Returns:* return a `gnutls_sign_algorithm_t' value corresponding to the specified algorithm, or `GNUTLS_SIGN_UNKNOWN' on error. gnutls_sign_get_name -------------------- -- Function: const char * gnutls_sign_get_name (gnutls_sign_algorithm_t ALGORITHM) ALGORITHM: is a sign algorithm Convert a `gnutls_sign_algorithm_t' value to a string. *Returns:* a string that contains the name of the specified sign algorithm, or `NULL' . gnutls_sign_get_pk_algorithm ---------------------------- -- Function: gnutls_pk_algorithm_t gnutls_sign_get_pk_algorithm (gnutls_sign_algorithm_t SIGN) SIGN: is a signature algorithm This function returns the public key algorithm corresponding to the given signature algorithms. *Since:* 3.1.1 *Returns:* return a `gnutls_pk_algorithm_t' value, or `GNUTLS_PK_UNKNOWN' on error. gnutls_sign_is_secure --------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_sign_is_secure (gnutls_sign_algorithm_t ALGORITHM) ALGORITHM: is a sign algorithm *Returns:* Non-zero if the provided signature algorithm is considered to be secure. gnutls_sign_list ---------------- -- Function: const gnutls_sign_algorithm_t * gnutls_sign_list ( VOID) Get a list of supported public key signature algorithms. *Returns:* a (0)-terminated list of `gnutls_sign_algorithm_t' integers indicating the available ciphers. gnutls_srp_allocate_client_credentials -------------------------------------- -- Function: int gnutls_srp_allocate_client_credentials (gnutls_srp_client_credentials_t * SC) SC: is a pointer to a `gnutls_srp_server_credentials_t' structure.
