(** User-level TLS API *)
(** The following functions are a very thin layer on top of
{!Netsys_crypto_types.TLS_PROVIDER}. The provider is passed
here as first-class value together with the configuration and
with the endpoint (socket). In particular, we have
{[
module type FILE_TLS_ENDPOINT =
sig
module TLS : TLS_PROVIDER
val endpoint : TLS.endpoint
val rd_file : Unix.file_descr
val wr_file : Unix.file_descr
end
]}
(see {!Netsys_crypto_types}). In many cases, you can consider the
packed modules as opaque values. Sometimes, however, it is
useful to call functions of the provider directly. You can do this
as follows, demonstrated by calling the provider function
[get_peer_crt_list] for [endpoint]:
{[
let module Endpoint =
(val endpoint : Netsys_crypto_types.FILE_TLS_ENDPOINT) in
let certificates =
Endpoint.TLS.get_peer_crt_list Endpoint.endpoint
]}
If you do this, be aware that the inner types of the
provider are meaningless outside, and you get a compiler error
"type ... would escape its scope" if you try to export such typed
values. Exceptions thrown by the provider should be caught and
translated to [Error] with {!Netsys_tls.translate_exn}.

peer_auth : [ `None | `Optional | `Required ] ->
(module Netsys_crypto_types.TLS_PROVIDER) ->
(module Netsys_crypto_types.TLS_CONFIG)
(** The configuration includes:
- [algorithms]: a string specifying which cryptographic algorithms,
protocols and protocol options
are enabled, and in which priority they are used in the negotiation.
(GnuTLS calls this "priority string".) The syntax is
implementation-defined.
- [dh_params]: parameters for Diffie-Hellman key exchange (used for
DH-based authentication, but only on the server side)
- [peer_auth]: controls whether the peer is requested to authenticate.
This can be set to [`None] meaning not to request authentication
and to ignore credentials, or to [`Optional] meaning not to request
authentication but to check credentials if they are sent
nevertheless, or to [`Required] meaning to request and check
credentials. For "standard clients" you should set this to
[`Required], and for "standard servers" to [`None] or
[`Required].
- [verify] is a function called to verify the peer certificate
in addition to the actions of [peer_auth]. The function must
return [true] in order to be successful. The arguments of the
function are the TLS endpoint, and two bools indicating the
success of previous checks. The first bool says whether the
certificate is trusted (based on [peer_auth], [trust] and
[system_trust]), and the second bool says whether the host name
of the peer matches the name in the certificate. If not
passed, [verify] defaults to [(fun _ cert_ok name_ok ->
cert_ok && name_ok)], i.e. both bools must be true.
- [system_trust]: if set, the system certificates are trusted
- [trust] specifies the CAs of peers to trust (default: empty)
- [revoke] specifies CRLs for revocation of peer certificates
(default: empty)
- [keys] are our own certificates, as triples
[(cert_path, private_key, password)] (default: empty)
A configuration is read-only once created, and can be used for
several endpoints. In particular, it does not cache TLS sessions.
A client should set [trust] to the list of CAs it can accept on
the server side. It is not required to specify a key.
A server must specify a key (but can also specify several keys).
If a server requests authentication from the client, it must also
set [trust].
The keys must include the full certificate path [cert_path], starting
with the endpoint certificate, followed by all middle certificates, and
ending with the certificate of the CA. The [private_key]
is the key of the endpoint. If it is password-encrypted, the
password must be given.

(** [create_file_endpoint ~role ~rd ~wr ~peer_name tls_config]:
Creates a new TLS endpoint (encapsulated as module, together with
the provider) for the case that the data flows over file descriptors.
[rd] is used for reading data, and [wr] for writing (of
course, both descriptors may be identical).
[peer_name] is the expected common name or DNS name of the
peer. [peer_name] has an option type as it is not always
required to pass it. However, keep in mind that clients
normally authenticate servers ([peer_auth=`Required]). In
order to do so, they need to check whether the name in the
server certificate equals the DNS name of the service they
are connected to. This check is done by comparing [peer_name]
with the name in the certificate.
[peer_name] is also used for the SNI extension.
Servers normally need not to set [peer_name]. You can also omit it
when there is no name-driven authentication at all.
[resume]: The endpoint resumes an old session whose data are passed here.
This is only possible for client endpoints.
