|---|---|
| Include | openssl_socket.h |
| Interface | openssl_socket.i.h |
| Tests / Examples | test/socket.cpp |
Note: See the socket limitations on availability.
Additionally, this functionality requires OpenSSL to be installed.
abc does not implement any cryptographic functionality, nor does it distribute OpenSSL or any other crypto or TLS library.
The main purpose of these socket classes is to prove that it is possible to support TLS on top of the existing abc sockets as well as to provide an example how to do it.
OpenSSL was chosen because it is probably the most popular TLS implementation and it is freely available on Linux distributions
openssl_tcp_server_socket is a TCP server socket that supports TLS.
It can listen and accept TLS client connections.
openssl_tcp_client_socket is TCP client socket that supports TLS.
It can connect to a TLS server and can send and receive bytes over the encrypted connection.
