30 * @title: TLS Overview
31 * @short_description: TLS (aka SSL) support for GSocketConnection
34 * #GTlsConnection and related classes provide TLS (Transport Layer
35 * Security, previously known as SSL, Secure Sockets Layer) support for
36 * gio-based network streams.
38 * #GDtlsConnection and related classes provide DTLS (Datagram TLS) support for
39 * GIO-based network sockets, using the #GDatagramBased interface. The TLS and
40 * DTLS APIs are almost identical, except TLS is stream-based and DTLS is
41 * datagram-based. They share certificate and backend infrastructure.
43 * In the simplest case, for a client TLS connection, you can just set the
44 * #GSocketClient:tls flag on a #GSocketClient, and then any
45 * connections created by that client will have TLS negotiated
46 * automatically, using appropriate default settings, and rejecting
47 * any invalid or self-signed certificates (unless you change that
48 * default by setting the #GSocketClient:tls-validation-flags
49 * property). The returned object will be a #GTcpWrapperConnection,
50 * which wraps the underlying #GTlsClientConnection.
52 * For greater control, you can create your own #GTlsClientConnection,
53 * wrapping a #GSocketConnection (or an arbitrary #GIOStream with
54 * pollable input and output streams) and then connect to its signals,
55 * such as #GTlsConnection::accept-certificate, before starting the
58 * Server-side TLS is similar, using #GTlsServerConnection. At the
59 * moment, there is no support for automatically wrapping server-side
60 * connections in the way #GSocketClient does for client-side
67 * @short_description: TLS backend implementation
70 * TLS (Transport Layer Security, aka SSL) and DTLS backend.
